Originally one of the Bulgarian State Railways' (BDŽ) four-cylinder compound locomotives that had been built by Hanomag in 1911 as BDŽ 705. It was given the class letters "Θα" by the SEK and initially numbered 601 before being renumbered 501.
During World War II it was reclaimed by the Bulgarians and renumbered BDŽ 27.17 at the end of the surviving 700s (which by then had become BDŽ class 27).
