This machine served for the IJsseloord brick factory. Nicknamed "Duiveltje" (little devil). Duiveltje - The statue between the lantern and the exhaust pipe.
This is, except for museums, the last active steamlocomotive in The Netherlands. She was acquired by NSS in 1977. The nickname refers to a small statue that was carried between the lantern and the exhaust pipe.

The photograph on the left was taken around 1965. The identity of the people remains unknown.

December 19, 2006: After a long period of inactivity due to repairs, Lloyds has certified the boiler. The IJsseloord is the first stand-by to take over services from loc 1 "Marijnke".

The chassis is from 12870 in 1937.
