NS 4000

"'Along with the NS 4700 Dutch Railways ordered a second engine type, the NS 4000. These engines with a cone shaped boiler were capable of dong 120 kilometres per hour, making them very suitable for their job. Another locomotive for Streamlined!' - Supersnel11 11/26/18. Source: Twitter."

The NS 4000 was a Swedish-built Dutch steam locomotive. 15 were built for the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) between 1945 and 1946.

Technical Details
During World War II, the NS had to surrender several locomotives to the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). In 1942, the Dutch government in London decided that to remedy the shortage of locomotive, they would have Sweden (who was neutral during World War II) build locomotives for after the war. These locomotives would be built between 1945 and 1946, for express service. They were nicknamed "Kerstoom" (translation: Christmas tree), due to the shape of their smokebox door. They were withdrawn between 1954 and 1956, with none being preserved.

Price
At level 27, the price of the NS 4000 is ƒ95,000 Gulden.

Liveries
Currently, there are two liveries available for the locomotive, being Nederlandsche-Spoorwegen Green and Nederlandsche-Spoorwegen Green with a austerity smokebox.
