2530
It is Saturday 5 September 2026 and the first saturday of September and that means the VSM train bonanza Terug naar Toen (Back to Yonder) that sees every hour a steam train between the VSM's head quartes Beekbergen and Apeldoorn (connecting to the national railways network); five steam trains to Dieren (connecting with the national railways network) and every 45 minutes a steam train to and from Loenen. At Beekbergen mostof the stock that is not active during TnT can be seen, like one-off 2530, nicknamed Bishop due to the -now somewhat bleached- pinkish-purple paint job.

Since 2019 back to purple-pink, hence the nickname Bisschop for VSM 2530, seen here at Hilversum with an extra train on 8 June 2024.

Side view on 2530 at Nijmegen on 15 December 2024. The last of a 130-strong Class of Alsthom-build Diesel locomotives, 2530 was equipped with a raised cab (and lower bonnets) to improve the driver's view. Due to the strong emphasis on electrification of the Dutch railways (that commenced from 1934 on and was only interrupted by WW-2) the 2530 remained a one-off. After service with the Netherlands State Railways NS she was sold to VSM that returned this loco into her pruple/lila colours, earning her the nickname Bisshop (at requests from the three Dutch southern provinces Gelderland, Noord-Brabant and Limburg, these being staunchly Roman Catholic in the 1950s and 1960s).

On 6 September 2015 ex-NS 2530 stands at the VSM depot in Beekbergen. The last of Class 2400/2500 was modified with a raised cab and slightly lowered bonnets to provide the loco driver better view. No further orders were placed by NS however, electric traction having given priority, but in Peru, one operator ordered sixteem of these modified Alsthom standard locos, the normal NS Class 2400 being the standard design.
