DE-2

Overview
Not to be confused with the DE-1.

The DE-2, also known as Plan X or Blauwe Engel, is a mid-20th century, Bo'2Bo', Diesel-Electric Multiple Unit (DMU) that was built by Allen & Co. as were most streamlined E/DMU's of the Netherlands at the time. With a top speed of 105 km/h it is the fourth fastest diesel locomotive in the game, just shy of the NS 2200's 106 km/h, the Plan U going 125 km/h and all three TEEs' being able to do 140 km/h

Technical Details (Click Me!) The DMU's design comes from earlier EMU's such as the Mat '45 and '46. As the NS continued to scrap and retire aging steam locomotives, the need and demand for new, high capacity equipment became necessary for the continued development of the Dutch rail system after World War II. 46 two-carriage sets were constructed, and all were used well into the 1970's and 80's. Several remain as museum pieces and part-time heritage rail tour trains. The DE-2 was numbered from 61 - 106, and was used on non-electrified lines throughout the Netherlands, similar to the smaller but similar DE-1.

Price
The cost of the DE-2 is ƒ215,000 gulden at level 33.

Liveries
At the time of writing the DE-2 has four liveries; the Blue Angel, Red, Prototype, and Blue. The Red is similar in hue to the Plan U, and the Blue is similar to the Blue Livery on the NS 2400.
