OOC, ex-Strukton 2284 304 (303004) stands at Oss on 10 August 2026 to pick up a cereals train. Strukton used to have four KHD-1200 Diesels for shunting operations and engineering trains. After the influx of nez-cassé electrics and the loss of some shunting francises Strukton discarded their KHD-1200s (that were second-hand bought from HGK); two of which are now in service with OOC for shunting trains in Oss. The 2284 304 still wears the Strukton colours, albeit with the stickers replaced by the blue OOC markings.

In 1998,ex-GDR type V22 shunting Diesel SHM-35 was bought by the Stoomtram Hoorn-Medemblik and earned her nickname Griezel (Creepy) reputedly due to the GDR's origin of the loco, but also because the unreability of the shunter's engine sometimes could be an absolute horror for the shunting crews. In 2006 the drastic solution was followed by replacing the originalengine with a Deutz engine and since that,the loco performs very well. On 6 July 2026 SHM-35 was shuntingat Hoorn after a nice weekend of steam specials.
