Hvor i alverden kører den dog rundt henne?

Jeg fandt dette om den:

LEGO®’s Köf was built by Deutz in 1950 for the
West German railways; Deutche Bundesbahn
(DB) and became their number 6140, signifying
that it was in the higher power range and was
thus a Köf II.
It was painted in the standard scheme of black
under-frame and dark red cab and hood. In 1968
it was renumbered to 321151-3 in line with DB’s
new computerised numbering scheme. In 1973
it was fitted with air brakes and renumbered
again to 324057-9. It was used mainly in the Köln
area.
In 1987 it became surplus to requirements and
was withdrawn. It was purchased by LEGO®
Gmbh, repainted yellow and black and moved
to Hohenwestedt. A LEGO® logo was applied to
each cab and a smaller one on each side of the
nose.
It stayed in Hohenwestedt for the next 15 years,
shunting the vans of LEGO® products around the
site to the various loading bays.
After LEGO®
In 2002 the need for a locomotive diminished
and it was sold to the railway equipment
dealer Mathias Bootz of Bad Nauheim. The
Hohenwestedt site closed entirely at the end of
2005 and the operation was transferred to the
Czech Republic.
After a couple of months at Bootz’s the Köf was
purchased by the railfreight vehicle hire company
VTG Lehnkering AG who sent it to their wagon
workshop in Syke-Barrien. For a while it kept its
yellow colours with the LEGO® logos removed,
however by 2004 it had acquired a bright red
hood with black detailing and by 2006 the whole
loco was bright red with a black under-frame.
In 2004 the loco reverted to its DB number of
324057-9.
