What a great compilation of old Dutch steam at work. It is so good to see these instead of the sparkling clean preserved locos all the time. Definite similarities to Southern, Western and Scottish steam loco design seen here. Thanks for sharing.
If you want to see which footage is post-war, just look at the smokestacks. Pre-war locomotives usually had a shiny brass crown around the top edge. During the second world war these rings were often removed by the germans to melt down for war materials. Not on all occasions, but often enough to where you can reliably judge footage to be pre- or post-war.
Many of the Dutch locomotives were built in England, notably by Beyer-Peacock, and some of the scenes of the last days of steam show War Department 'Austerity' locomotives, quite of few of which were sold to Dutch Railways after the Second World War.
Mooi dat er geluid bij is, meestal konden ze het of niet opnemen of mensen doen de moeite niet om geluiden toe te voegen, erg mooie beelden met geluid 👌👌👌👍👍👍
When I was in Holland using the excellent rail network I noticed those narrow gauge lines. I assumed they were for road salt or something. Anybody know their purpose? I saw some men pushing waggons on them in this video.
Definitely not road salt, that is transported by trucks. Not sure what it is, I've never seen them in 23 years of living in the Netherlands. I think for farmers
No sanddome on the boiler and a raised part on the cab roof, so it must be a former SS locomotive ; No's 7111-7125. So no connection to the 'Dokkumer Lokaeltsie'.
@@timdekleijn8910 also the "no connection to the 'Dokkumer Lokaeltsie" isn't strictly true, the original 7100s (7101-7110) were all off the NFLS by 1922, being replaced by the 7111-7125 as they were better suited due to their higher fuel capacity (and higher power)
the first one is a NS 6300, you will see it several times, one of our top heavy ones, used for postal and coal, before and during the war. after the war when the electrification started they become obsolete and where used as pounding locs thanks to there heavy weight. there nickname was (freely translated) the executioner...the fire man had to work really hard.

Prachtige kleuropnames! Die zijn zo ontzettend zeldzaam!
Beautiful colour-recordings! These are so very rare!
Are the Dutch steam locomotives built in England

Also alot were build in Germany.

2:08 that engine bears a striking resemblence to the NCC U2 class 4-4-0s albeit with outside cylinders. Anybody else agree?
NS 1300 Looking very nice

Same thing lol
That's like saying that England and Great Britain are the same thing.
Say, what are the classes of these locos?

Muy buena, salvo por la sincronización entre imagen y sonido, en algunas partes. Es un buen registro histórico. Pienso en encargarme una.
Very nice
my right ear really liked this video, my left one not so much
Sorry, but not sure what you mean!
@@CamdenMSS there only audio comming from the right ear on headphones but no audio from the left one
