Ex-NS 2412 stands at the VSM in Beekbergen
(ID 56534)
On 7 September 2024 VSM 532 stands at Beekbergen during the Terug-naar-Toen train festival.
The first batch of thirteen Diesel lcomotives Class 2400 were delivered in turqouis for possible deployment on passenger trains.



Ex-NS 2412 stands at the VSM in Beekbergen on 6 September 2015. When NS ordered 129 locos of this Class with Alstom, the Dutch experimented with colour schemes, resulting in this turqois for 2401-2422 before the brown of the 1960s waqs introduced to the whole Class. Since VSM already had a brown 2400, they decided to buy a second loco from a French operator and painted her in this colour scheme.

Ex-DB 23 076 stands at Loenen on 5 September 2026 during the yearly held train bonanza Terug naar Toen (Back to Yonder)-this photo was shot from 'my' steam train from Beekbergen. Three examples of Class 023 have been saved in the Netherlands and are in fully operational condition. Thanks to their maximum speed of 110 km/h they can be used on main line running specials, albeit being rostered in as quasi freights, since passenger trains are much faster, where freights mostly run with speeds up to 120 km/h.

The decoration on the kettle's dooor of VSM 44 1593 is a wink to the fact, that in the 100th year of ex-DRG Class 44 only one 44 in Western Europe is inoperational condition and that that one is outside Germany! VSM 44 1593 readies herself with one of the many steam shuttle trains to/from Loenen at Beekbergen on 5 September2026 during the Terug naar Toen steam train bonanza.

TKp23 'Slask' stands at Beekbergen on 5 September 2026 during the Terug-naar-Toen festivities. After several attempts by VSM to sell the loco, they decided to give her an at least cosmetical restoration.

VSM 2412 stands in front of the brand new loco shed at Loenen on 5 September 2025 during the Terug-naar-Toen train bonanza. The loco shed was completed just a month before the TnT opened. The ex-NS 2412 and het Plan D coach show the brief spell of turquise hauled passenger Diesel trains with NS from 1951-1954. In 1954 Diesel locos of the series 2200 and 2400 were repainted brown and hauled stock turned into Prussian blue -reputedly because dirt was less visible on darker colours.
