Since the transfer of the locomotive to Germany required work on the running gear anyway, the operational refurbishment of the locomotive was commissioned in Romania (at the Cluj Napoca [Klausenburg] plant). The refurbishment of the locomotive was completed as early as August 1999 and 38 3199 was presented ready for operation in olive green-red-brown-black livery. The locomotive was transferred to Germany under its own power from October 30 to November 4, 1999, and accepted for operation in Germany on April 16, 2002. From June 14 to 16, 2002, the locomotive participated in the "Festival of Railroads" in Nuremberg and was exhibited under steam at the Nuremberg-Gostenhof depot and demonstrated during the locomotive parade.
