This machine is special because of the placement of the coalbunkers: entirely inside the cabin.
This machine was newly sold to construction company Groot in De Woude by the Du Croo & Brauns factory. Groot used two of these machines. The 10145 carried the name "Willy".
After WWII these machines were found in a terrible state. Only one was revised and returned to service at Groot. In the late sixties she was put on display near railroad station Purmerend Overwhere. Locomotive "Sandra" was named after the granddaughter of mr. Groot.
