Tubize 2179 is a preserved Belgian 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) narrow gauge steam locomotive built by Ateliers de Tubize as one of six of its class, and used for most of its life in Poland.
[1] During World War II, the locomotives were seized by the Germans and utilized by them for military or construction railways.
The locomotive 2179 was found in 1945 in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) and seized by the Polish authorities.
[1] In 1958 the locomotive was overhauled in Nowy Sącz railway workshops and reconstructed.
The driver's booth was much enlarged and became functional, spoiling its proportions however.
