NS 3700

"'The NS 3700 'Jumbo' was a mixed-traffic locomotive built by the Staats-Spoorwegen (SS) officially carrying the number SS 700. They were the most numerous engines on the national network, and were a favorite amongst footplate crews. [...]' - Jiskpirate 4/26/19. Source: Twitter."

The NS 3700 was a Dutch 4-6-0 express steam locomotive that was used for close to a half century on NS trackage. 120 were built in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands between 1910 and 1928, for the Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS).

Technical Details
In 1910, the SS ordered 109 locomotives from Beyer, Peacock, & Company, Werkspoor, Hanomag, and Henschel & Son. After the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) was formed, they experimented with these engines. They were so pleased with the results that 6 more of the type were ordered from Werkspoor in 1921, with an additional 5 being ordered from Schwartzkopff in 1928. This series formed the backbone of the SS and was the inspiration for the NS 4600, NS 6000, NS 6100 and NS 6200 which have interchangeable parts. 5 members of the series (NS 3800-3805) were given special plating between 1936 and 1938 to reduce fuel usage. These got nicknamed "Potvis" or "Sperm whale". The class was completely withdrawn by 1958, with one (NS No. 3737) being preserved at the Spoorwegmuseum.

Trivia

 * 120 NS 3700s were constructed.
 * Four manufacturers constructed the NS 3700; Beyer, Peacock and Company, at 36 units; Hanomag, at 10; Henschel & Sohn, at 16 units, the other 48 were constructed at Werkspoor.
 * The NS 3700's were nicknamed 'Jumbo' as they were twice as powerful as the popular NS 1700 class due to their four cylinder arrangement.
 * One locomotive has been preserved, the NS 3737. It has had some activity in the past few decades, but is now a static display in the collection of the Dutch Railway Museum.
 * Although in-game the NS 3700 is stronger than the NS 4000, this is inaccurate to real life as the NS 4000 was stronger.
 * There was a special variant of the 3700 for the 1 year anniversary of Streamlined.

The "ƒ" symbol is the Dutch Guilder symbol, much like the Dollar, Pound Sterling, and Euro signs are for their respective currencies. Gulden is the Dutch word for currency.
