MBS 7853 runs light through Haksbergen on 23 October 2016. After WW-II NS ordered many second hand steam locomotives due to the massive losses from 1944/1945. Second hand steamers were cheaper and the Dutch Railways wanted to phase out steam apace, investing in new Diesel and electric stock. Two C-couplers were bought from Switzerland and these Tigerli entered Dutch service as 7851 and 7852. IN 2015 MBS bought a Swiss Tigerli to reeneact these steamers and numbered hers as 7853, following the highest original number. 
