Four-wheel steam carriage M124.001 with vertical boiler of the Viennese firm Komarek was manufactured in 1903 in the Ringhoffer wagon factory at Prague-Smichov with the serial number 65168. The carriage of the original designation 1.001 of the Austrian State Railways (kkStB) was supplied for the local railway Ceska Kamenice - Kamenicky Senov - Ceska Lipa where, however, it did not prove well because of its low power output. Therefore, it was fitted with a higher output boiler in 1905 and was transferred to the local railway Louny - Libochovice. The Czechoslovak Railways transferred it to Dobruska in 1926 where it was put out of service in 1947 and included into collections of the National Technical Museum. Technical specification: axle arrangement A1, two-cylinder compound steam engine with flat slide valves and modified valve gear Joy, suction service brake and hand-operated backup brake.
