Although the locomotive did everything she should do, no series production was commenced due to the Soviet-Union, that banned all production of Diesel locomotives stronger than 2,000 HP outside the USSR. Today, the loco is part of the collection of the Dresden Verkehrsmuseum.

On 22 August 2026 Erfurter Bahn Service V 200 507 stands with an extra train at the Sächsisches Eisenbahnmuseum at Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf during the Open Weekend of the Heizhausfest. EBS' locomotives are normally black with red and white linings, but some of their Diesels have received a retro livery.
