Scan of a slide taken in October 1990; A history of the loco from the W&L Railway's web-site:
"Number 10 was built as a tender engine in 1944 by the Société Franco-Belge at Raismes, France, for the German Military Railways. Following the cessation of hostilities, the locomotive found its way to the Salzkammergut Lokalbahn and it worked for several years on the picturesque Salzburg-Bad Ischl line. Subsequently the Styrian Government Railways rebuilt her in 1957 as tank engine 699.01 for use on the line from Weiz to Ratten. However, in practice she saw little service there and came to the W&L in 1969. Her power and adhesive weight, together with short wheelbase, enable her to pull the heaviest trains. She is named after the County of Montgomery, which in Welsh is Sir Drefaldwyn."
