RFO 1831 hauls the NVBS Koningsdag train into Rotterdam Centraal on 27 April 2026. Each year, Dutch railway enthousiasts' society NVBS (Nederlandse Vereniging van Belangstellenden in het Spoor- en Tramwezen) launch a special train on Dutch tracks on the birth day of the King/Queen of the Netherlands. Since 2013, King's Day is held on 27 April, the birth day of H.M. King Willem-Alexander of Oranje-Nassau. RFO 1831 has received a special livery to celebrate the 95th annivgersary of the NVBS, hence the big '95' at the cab. 
