Between 1934 and 1951 the Dutch State Railways bought the 2-axle
diesel shunting locomotives from the manufacturer Werkspoor. One
series of the locomotives was also delivered by CW Zwolle. A total
of 169 locomotives were built, but in various series and slightly
different designs. The locomotives were known for their striking
exhaust noise and as a result railway workers and railway fans call
them "Sikken" or "Sik" which means "Goat" in English.
Fifteen of these locomotives were delivered with mobile cranes.
After the original green livery later the yellow-grey colour scheme
was applied. The diligent working horses made unremitting efforts
when operating throughout the Netherlands. In the second half of
the 1990s, stricter safety regulations led to the decommissioning
of the remaining locomotives. Many of them are preserved or still
in operation at museum railways and some private railway
companies.
The model can only be operated to a limited extent with analogue
driving devices.
