The MBS purchased all former VMH lines and equipment of the LTM in 1929.[1] These locomotive retained their numbers at that time.[1] The name plate of VMH 1 VENLO was placed on VMH 5 (LTM 17).[1]
In 1935 the passenger service on the line Venlo-Beringen was terminated and the locomotives were taken out of service.[1] Locomotives 13, 15 and 16 were sold for scrap in 1937.[1]
Locomotive 14 remained, without axles, wheels, and driving rods in the workshops of the MBS in Gennep.[1] It was used as heating boiler.[1]
Although during the war between 1940 and 1945 there were plans to restore the locomotive to full service, these were not executed.[1] The locomotive was lost without a trace during the war activities of the liberation of The Netherlands in 1944–1945.[1]
