They were withdrawn between 1948 and 1952, with none of the Dutch locomotives surviving into preservation. However, several WD Austerity 2-8-0s have been preserved in the United Kingdom.

Trivia

 * A total of 935 WD 2-8-0's were built, but only 237 were used by the NS.
 * They are based on the LMS 8F locomotives, with changes like a round-topped firebox instead of a belpaire and a parallel boiler instead of a tapered boiler.
 * A nickname for the NS 4300's was 'Little Jeep's'.
 * The smoke deflector livery can be disputed as a livery, but it is in the livery selection menu, so it will be considered as such.
