RFO 1831 stands in Oss on 11 February 2026 with a celebration livery for the 75th anniversary of the Dutcj railway fan club NVBS (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Belangstellenden in Spor- en tramwezen). This loco will hold this livery for at least one year, entered service with NS in 1984 as 1631, became 1831 upon the loco fleet sectorisation in 2000 (1600 remaining the NS Passenger division's locos with those going to NS Cargo/Railion became Class 1826-1858) and remained 1831 upon transfer to RFO, after a breif spell as 9904 with LOCON Benelux. On 15 December 2025 this livery was revealed by the NVBS and RFO and the loco was renumbered 1931 (the year when the NVBS was founded) for one day on 3 January 2026 on an extra trip to kick off the 75th anniversary of the NVBS, before reverting to number 1831. 

This is not a double traction. On 22 November 2025 CD Cargo 383 015 decided she had done enough for the day on departure from Bad Bentheim in Germany for the ride to Beverwijk Tata Steel and so the rather decrepid RFO 1831 was rushed onto the train for the ride in the Netherlands. Almost all freights from Bad Bentheim pause for about half an hour at Amersfoort and here CD Cargo decided she will go on after all. She has raised a pantograph to test and diagnose the technical failure and solve it, with RFO 1831 still on the train just in case. This gave at Amersfoort a colourfull train which seems in double traction. 
