Interior. Photo: Ap Hoogendoorn Built by the Polisch O&K plant in Nowawes, supplied to Spoorijzer in Delft in 1937. This machine has a small frame which makes it possible to use both 600 mm and 700 mm axels. The small frame does not allow for normal sized waterbunkers, which is compensated by additional small bunkers placed in front of the coalbunkers. This locomotive is likely used by the construction of the Beatrix-locks in Wijk bij Duurstede. When these works were finished she was sold to brick factory De Roodvoet in Rijswijk (Gld). This machine was put at display at the Floriade exhibition in Amsterdam. She was acquired by NSS in 1975. Restauration was made possible by the Anjerfonds.
