This machine was purchased by VH services from Skoda Power (where it was working for many years). VH services afterwards retrofitted and modernized this machine. However, it was necessary to manufacture the new saddle of column and bed sections for this machine, because Skoda Power kept the originals and used them for installation of new HBM Skoda HCW, which they purchased. After matching and adjustment of new saddle together with bed, the complete machine WEQ200NC was subsequently installed in Indian company.

- Full preparation of all documentation required for modernization of machine.
