Superb photo Georg and nice to see No 6 working especially with the Weishorn in the background. What happens these days with No 7 Beithorn? I once travelled behind her from Stalden to Zermatt in 1965.

The light oil fired # 7, still on loan from the MGB to the DFB, is stabled in Göschenen since a few years. With 4 operational locos now (1, 4, 9 and the smaller 6), the DFB is not dependent on her. Her boiler power and oil firing is not very good on the long heavy rack sections of the DFB, but optimized for the shorter sections from Visp to Zermatt.
