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.

A masquerade at the VSM in Beekbergen on 2 September 2018. When in 1944 the US Army launched their massive liberation effort of Western Europe, massive orders for steam and diesel locos wree placed by the military to cope with the expected extra traffic and shunting work (the armies needed to be equipped and replenished with fresh troops, materiel, tanks and usables like food, water and munition). Whitcomb Locomotive Company modified a 1943 design for the USATC and sold more than a hondred of these to the military. After the War, France,, Italy and the Netherlands bought the for the USATC surplus locos. NS bought twenty, 18 of which entered service and two for spares, numbering them 2001-2018. In 2018, VSM hit the fraternity headlines when they bought an old American Whitcomb and restored her externally in NS 1950s condition. Sinds she was not of the original NS-batch, the VSM followed preservation customs with giving their newby the first number after the last original, hence planting No.2019 in her fleet.

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. Leonardus Schrijvers
