In the 1920s, the Dutch Railways invested heavily in the reinforcement of the railway track, as a result of which the maximum permitted axle load on most main lines could be increased from 16 to 18 tons. This created for the first time the possibility of designing a 2'C2' tank engine, which was completely derived from the 1910-originating four-cylinder series NS 3700. Until then, lighter two-cylinder locomotives of the series NS 6000 with a maximum axle load of 15.4 tons represented the limited possibility for a Dutch tank engine.
The first five locomotives were built by Hohenzollern in 1929 and five more were built by Werkspoor later that year.

No. 6103 also belonged to the first nineteen locomotives that had to be scrapped after the liberation as a result of war damage. On September 29, 1945, permission was obtained to scrap this heavily damaged locomotive, among other things. According to information from Mr. Van Wijck Jurriaanse, the scrapping (without boiler) took place in April 1946 on the site of the Wpc Tilburg, but given the inconvenient condition of 6103, it seems more likely that the locomotive has come to its final end in Arnhem. The second 6100 to be scrapped was locomotive 6109, which had returned from Barsinghausen, Germany, damaged.
In 1956 the systematic withdrawal of the remaining seven 6100s was initiated. First up were Nos. 6101 (March) and 6106 (May), of which No. 6106 was allocated to the Zutphen depot from 19 May to 30 September 1956 as a stationary boiler. During 1957 Nos. 6104 (February), 6107 and 6110 (both August) were withdrawn and put aside for scrap, and in February 1958 the last Tenderjumbos 6102 and 6108 were also withdrawn from service.

Werkspoor N.V. was the shortened, and later the official name of the Nederlandsche Fabriek van Werktuigen en Spoorwegmaterieel. It was a Dutch machine factory, known for rolling stock, (ship) steam engines, and diesel engines. It was a successor of the company Van Vlissingen en Dudok van Heel, later named Koninklijke Fabriek van Stoom- en andere Werktuigen. In 1954 Werkspoor was merged with Stork.
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.
The HSM 190 - 193 were a class of four 1'B steam locomotives build by Borsig for the Hollandsche Spoorweg Maatschappij in 1888. The locomotives were named as was typical for the HSM. These were of the same type as locomotives of the series 184-189 with the exception that these locomotives were compounds. Compounding was introduced in an effort to improve efficiency.
