Piko 52696 diesel locomotive 2275, NS, Ep. IV Product Details

Description

The diesel-electric, four-axle bogie locomotives of the 2200 series of the Dutch State Railways NS characterized the time of the traction change from steam to diesel locomotives in their procurement years from 1955 to 1958. Together with the 2400 series, 280 units were put into service. With their one-sided end driver's cabs and long front ends, the machines embodied an American design. However, the NS machines were manufactured exclusively by Western European companies. The 100 km/h locomotives could not only be used in freight train and shunting services, but were also popular in front of passenger trains. In front of heavy ore trains, up to four locomotives with 900 HP were sometimes used in multiple traction.
