The NS 700 was a series of steam locomotives of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) and its predecessors Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS) and Noord-Brabantsch-Duitsche Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NBDS).
The SS needed new locomotives for the operation of their new railway lines Arnhem – Deventer, Zutphen – Glanerbrug, Maastricht – Venlo and Almelo – Hengelo in 1865. A large number of SS 5-8 based locomotives were ordered from Beyer, Peacock & Company of Manchester, England, which were delivered between 1865 and 1869 as SS 9-16 and SS 21–78. They skipped numbers SS 17-20 those were taken by the goods engines (later series NS 2900) delivered in 1865.
The boiler and cylinders were similar to the SS 5–8 series. The driving wheels were smaller and the maximum working pressure was increased to 8.3 kg/cm2, increasing the pulling power. The SS 9-16 were delivered with a four-wheeled tender, other locomotives were equipped with a six-wheeled tender. In 1884, a six-wheeled tender from the defunct series SS 5-8 was substituted for the four-wheeled tender of four locomotives from the Nos. SS 9-16 series. Initially, the locomotives were not fitted with a cab. The only protection for the fireman and the driver against bad weather was a plate on top of the firebox. Later, the locomotives were provided with a cab roof. When the fleets of the HSM and the SS was merged into the Dutch Railways in 1921, these locomotives were given the NS numbers 701–766. The series was withdrawn from service between 1930 and 1933.
NS 705 was preserved by Spoorwegmuseum and has been returned to its first built condition of 1864 as SS 13. Originally this locomotive had a four-wheeled tender. The current six wheeled tender comes from SS No. 8. Spoorwegmuseum tried to acquire the original four wheeled tender of NBDS No . 3 in 1947, but without success. SS No. 13 is the oldest surviving Dutch locomotive. [1]
In 1871, four locomotives with a lower working pressure of 6.2 kg/cm2 (88.18 PSI) were delivered, which were assigned numbers 17-20 after the original series SS 17-20 had been renumbered SS 161–164 in 1871. This subseries is more related to the SS 5–8 series. In contrast to Nos. 5–8, 9-16 and 21–78, these locomotives were fitted with a closed cab. When the fleet of the HSM and the SS was merged in 1921, the locomotives of the SS were given the NS numbers 767-770. The series was withdrawn from service between 1930 and 1933. [1]
In 1872, another order for six locomotives was placed. The first four entered service with the SS Nos. 1-4 taking the numbers of the old SS 1-4, which were renumbered into SS 131–134. However, the other two were delivered to the Société anonyme du Chemin de fer international de Malines à Terneuzen (Mechelen-Terneuzen International Railway, MT) as MT 2 and MT 3, because this company urgently needed locomotives. The MT withdrew these two locomotives from service in 1932. The locomotives of the SS were given the NS numbers 771-774 when the fleets of the HSM and the SS was merged in 1921. The series was withdrawn from service between 1930 and 1933. [1]
In 1872, the NBDS ordered ten locomotives with four wheeled tenders from Beyer-Peacock of Manchester for the passenger service between Boxtel and Goch. Due to a lack of money, shipment to the Netherlands was postponed and only in 1873 were the first five locomotives put into service as NBDS 1–5. The NBDS 6-10 were canceled, after which the factory could deliver them to the Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburger Eisenbahn (BPM). The five locomotives were given the names Gijsbert van Beverwijk, Sophia, Mina, Lucinda and Henrietta, named after shareholders of the NBDS. In 1892, the names of the locomotives were removed.
When rail traffic declined sharply during the First World War, the NBDS tried to sell its oldest locomotives. In 1917 Nos. 1 and 3 were sold to the Staatsmijnen, where they were used as SM 8 and SM 9 until 1926 and 1928 respectively for the transport of coal. The Société anonyme du chemin de fer de Gand à Terneuzen (GT) showed interest for Nos. 2, 4 and 5, but canceled a possible purchase due to an asking price that was too high. Nos. 2 and 4 were sold to a contractor in 1918. The remaining five, which had been fitted with a new boiler in 1917, remained in service with the NBDS. After the NBDS had merged into the SS in 1919, this locomotive was incorporated as SS 5 into the SS fleet, and two years later, when the HSM and SS fleets were merged, it was given the NS number 775. The NS withdrew No. 775 in 1931. [1]

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.
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.

The Noord-Brabantsch-Deutsche Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NBDS) was a railway company undertaking and providing rail transport between Boxtel and Wesel via Uden, Veghel, Gennep, Goch and Xanten. This railway was known in the Netherlands as "Duits lijntje ". On July 15, 1873, the section from Boxtel to Goch could be opened. On July 1, 1878, the second section of the line, the section from Goch to Wesel, could be opened. The total length of the line was 92.7 kilometers, of which 52.7 kilometers on Dutch territory. From Büderich, another 8.2 kilometers of the Köln-Mindener Eisenbahn was used, so was a part of the line from Venlo via Wesel to Haltern, Münster and Hamburg.
