The NS 3600 was a series of express steam locomotives of the Dutch Railways (NS) and its predecessors Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS) and Nederlandsche Centraal-Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NCS).
The first two locomotives, Nos. 71 and 72, were delivered in 1910, and Nos. 73 to 78 followed in 1911 to 1914. 73–78 did not have a fully streamlined cab, and 75–78 also had slightly different tenders. Because of their conical shaped smokebox door, these locomotives soon got the nickname "Zeppelins".
In 1919, the operation of the NCS was taken over by the SS, with these locomotives being included in the SS numbering as 971–978. When the locomotives and rolling stock of the SS and the HSM was merged in 1921, the locomotives of this series were given the NS numbers 3601–3608. In 1925, these locomotives were rebuilt with a boiler that was practically the same as that of the series NS 3700, because of the wider Belpaire firebox the cab lost its streamlined shape. In 1935 the locomotives had brakes fitted on the bogie, and they received a fully welded tender that had the same water and coal capacity as the tender of the series NS 3900. The maximum speed could therefore be increased to 110 km/h (68 mph). The last locomotive of this series was withdrawn from service in 1953. No engine has survived into preservation.

De Arend was one of the two first steam locomotives in the Netherlands. It was a 2-2-2 Patentee type built in England by R. B. Longridge and Company of Bedlington, Northumberland to run on the then standard Dutch track gauge of 1,945 mm. On 20 September 1839, together with the Snelheid, it hauled the first train of the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij between Amsterdam and Haarlem. It was withdrawn in 1857.
The NS 1600 was a series of steam engines of the Dutch national railways, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), and its predecessors Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS), Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij (HSM) and Nederlandsche Rhijnspoorweg-Maatschappij (NRS).
The NS 5300 class were the first of this class in The Netherlands, in fact the NRS employed the first passenger service tender locomotives with this type. The Westinghouse brake system was a first for the NRS; the additional hand brake was common. To obtain a stable ride at high speeds, inside cylinders were employed. The firebox was situated between the coupled axles. The front and rear axles were of the Webb type, already employed by the London North Western Railway. The radial axle boxes were produced with very fine tolerances. Rubber bumpers were employed to move the axle back into position.
