NS 3700
The NS 3700 class was a class of express steam locomotives with the wheel arrangement of 2'C (4-6-0) of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) and its predecessor Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS). History The first 109 locomotives of this series were delivered to the SS between 1910 - 1920 and numbered 685 - 778 and 785 - 799. The manufacturers were Beyer, Peacock & Company (36 engines), Werkspoor (48 engines), Hanomag (10 engines) and Henschel & Son (15 engines). After the merger of the SS and the HSM in 1921, six more locomotives were delivered by Werkspoor in that same year. The series was then given the NS numbers 3701–3815. In 1928 another order of five locomotives were ordered from Schwarzkopff and built to a slightly altered design. The whole classed was numbered between 3701 - 3820 after the last once were added to the fleet. The Noord-Brabantsch-Duitsche Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NBDS) was the first railway company in the Netherlands to use express locomot ...

NS 1700 (steamlocomotive)
The NS 1700 was a series of express steam locomotives of Nederlandse Spoorwegen and its predecessor Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS). Design and construction Due to the increasing weight of passenger trains, a new locomotive was designed based on the 301-475 series with a higher steam pressure and therefore a higher power. Compared to the series 300, the single axle was replaced by a four-wheeled bogie. The first 125 locomotives were built by Beyer, Peacock & Company of Manchester Manchester () is a city in Greater Manchester, England. It had a population of 552,000 in 2021.

Henschel Locomotives
Henschel & Son (german: Henschel und Sohn) was a German company, located in Kassel, best known during the 20th century as a maker of transportation equipment, including locomotives, trucks, buses and trolleybuses, and armoured fighting vehicles and weapons. Georg Christian Carl Henschel founded the factory in 1810 at Kassel. His son Carl Anton Henschel founded another factory in 1837. In 1848, the company began manufacturing locomotives. The factory became the largest locomotive manufacturer in Germany by the 20th century. Henschel built 10 articulated steam trucks, using Doble steam car, Doble steam designs, for Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft, Deutsche Reichsbahn railways as delivery trucks. Several cars were built as well, one of which became Hermann Göring's staff car. In 1935 Henschel was able to upgrade its various steam locomotives to a high-speed Streamliner type with a maximum speeds of up to by the addition of a removable shell over the old steam locomotive.

Werkspoor Locomotives
Werkspoor N.V. was the shortened, and later the official name of the Nederlandsche Fabriek van Werktuigen en Spoorwegmaterieel. It was a Dutch machine factory, known for rolling stock, (ship) steam engines, and diesel engines. It was a successor of the company Van Vlissingen en Dudok van Heel, later named Koninklijke Fabriek van Stoom- en andere Werktuigen. In 1954 Werkspoor was merged with Stork. Founded as Nederlandsche Fabriek van Werktuigen en spoorwegmaterieel In March 1890 the predecessor of Werkspoor asked for an automatic stay. After many years of heavy losses the financial world lacked confidence in this predecessor, the Koninklijke Fabriek van Stoom- en andere Werktuigen. What was needed was a radical restructuring and new leadership. Because of the national and city interest, authorities intervened to bring this about. The mayor of Amsterdam G. van Tienhoven succeeded in engaging C.T. Stork (owner of the machine factory Stork) in the operation and to provide a g ...

Steam Locomotives Of The Netherlands
Steam is a substance containing water in the gas phase, and sometimes also an aerosol of liquid water droplets, or air. This may occur due to evaporation or due to boiling, where heat is applied until water reaches the enthalpy of vaporization. Steam that is saturated or superheated is invisible; however, "steam" often refers to wet steam, the visible mist or aerosol of water droplets formed as water vapor condenses. Water increases in volume by 1,700 times at standard temperature and pressure; this change in volume can be converted into mechanical work by steam engines such as reciprocating piston type engines and steam turbines, which are a sub-group of steam engines. Piston type steam engines played a central role in the Industrial Revolution and modern steam turbines are used to generate more than 80% of the world's electricity. If liquid water comes in contact with a very hot surface or depressurizes quickly below its vapor pressure, it can create a steam explosion. Types ...

NS 6000
The NS 6000 was a series of tank engines with the wheel arrangement of 2'C2' of the Dutch Railways (NS) and its predecessor Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS). They were manufactured by Beyer, Peacock and Company of Manchester, England. History Around 1912, the Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen had their first experience with the new and strong 2'C locomotives of the series 700, but there was a need for a tank engine version of the series 700; however, this was not possible because it would have been heavier then the maximum axle load of sixteen tons. The SS built the 2'C2' locomotives with less tractive effort than the series 700 and with only two inside cylinders, but with features quite similar to the Series 700, such as the copper-capped chimney, the copper steam dome, the wheel diameter and the maximum boiler pressure.Thus it was considered that Beyer-Peacock had built a very robust yet elegant locomotive.

NS 6100
The NS 6100 was a series of tank engines with the 2'C2' (4-6-4) wheel arrangement of the Dutch Railways (NS). They were manufactured by Hohenzollern and Werkspoor. History In the 1920s, the Dutch Railways invested heavily in the reinforcement of the railway track, as a result of which the maximum permitted axle load on most main lines could be increased from 16 to 18 tons. This created for the first time the possibility of designing a 2'C2' tank engine, which was completely derived from the 1910-originating four-cylinder series NS 3700. Until then, lighter two-cylinder locomotives of the series NS 6000 The NS 6000 was a series of tank engines with the wheel arrangement of 2'C2' of the Dutch Railways (NS) and its predecessor Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS).

NS 3900
The NS 3900 was a series of express steam locomotives of the Dutch Railways. History At the end of the 1920s, the Dutch Railways needed an express locomotive that was stronger than the 3700 series, because more and more wooden passenger coaches were replaced by steel ones. The axle load could also could be increased from 16 tons to 18 tons. This resulted in a design that looked at both NS 3600 and NS 3700 series, so with a wheel arrangement of 2'C. The NS 3900 series used bar frame of the 3600 but the design of boiler, cylinders and cab resembled the 3700 series, but with a more powerful boiler and cylinders with a diameter of 420 mm instead of 400 mm. This increased tractive effort by about 15 percent. The same boiler would later be used on the 6300 series of tank engines. The tender was similar to that of the NS 3600 series and the later built eight wheeled tenders of the series 3700 series. The NS 3900 was able to quickly bring the heaviest passenger trains to a spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
