NS 100

The NS 100 (also known as Oersiks (prototpyes only) or Siks) was a German-built Dutch petrol locomotive. 52 locomotives were built between 1927 and 1932.

Technical Details
Due to the difficulty steam locomotives had at shunting at smaller stations, the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) decided to experiment with petrol shunters. The prototype, NS No. 101, was built at Schwartzkopff in 1927, with a 2nd prototype being built in 1929. As they were satisfied with the 2 prototypes, the NS built an additional 50 locomotives between 1930 and 1932. They were all withdrawn by 1948, with 6 being preserved.

Price
At level 30, the price of the NS 100 is ƒ100,000 Gulden.

Liveries
Currently, the only livery available is Nederlandse-Spoorwegen Green.
