NS 4700

"'The NS 4700 series was a small series bought during World War Two, and was delivered shortly after it ended. Built in Sweden, and based on existing Swedish locomotive, they could be delivered quickly and ensured the rebuilding of the Netherlands went smooth.' - Supersnel11 11/24/18. Source: Twitter."

The NS 4700 was a Swedish-built Dutch steam locomotive. 35 were built at Nydqvist & Holm AB (NOHAB) between 1944 and 1946.

Technical Details
During World War II, the Dutch government in London ordered 50 steam locomotives from NOHAB in Sweden. 15 of the locomotives would become the NS 4000, with the other 35 being the NS 4700s. The class was delivered to the Netherlands between 1944 and 1946. Early on, they would often be found on passenger services, as the NS lacked strong passenger locomotives. They later ended up transporting coal from Limburg to the western part of the Netherlands. They were all withdrawn by 1958, with none surviving into preservation.

Livery
