High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) Class 200 diesel locomotives were built for shunting duties. 169 of these small locomotives, numbered 201-369, were built by Werkspoor from 1934–1951. They were known as "Sikken" (Sik in singular, goats) by rail enthusiasts and "locomotor" by railway staff. Fifteen of these locomotives were built with a retractable crane. Many are preserved, but some are still in service with the Netherlands freight operator, Railion. There is a well-known and accurate H0 scale model offered in various liveries by Roco. The design and operation was based on the simplest of things, which in effect made them very reliable. The locomotive was operated by design from the outside...

They were larger than their predecessors, and were built by Werkspoor from probably 1945-1956. They were called "Grote Siks" (big goats). Unlike their predecessors, they were generally unsuccessful and in 10 years were replaced by the larger Series 500 and 600. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The British NS (North Sea) class blimps were the largest and last in a succession of non-rigid airship designs that served with the Royal Naval Air Service during World War I; developed from experiences gained with earlier classes to operate off the east coast of Britain on long-range patrols. Despite early problems, examples of the class went on to break all flying records for non-rigid airships, and the type became regarded as the most efficient of its kind.

The Class 1600 was ordered in 1978, after several types of locomotives were tested in the 1970s. One of those was the French Class BB 7200, on which the 1600 is based. The 58 locomotives were delivered between 1981 and 1983. As a result of their delivery, the old Class 1000 and Class 1500 were taken out of service. Thanks to the electronic power control, these locomotives were the most economical but also the most powerful locomotives that Dutch Railways had. Данное издание не является оригинальным....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In 1908 the first electric train in the Netherlands ran from Rotterdam to Den Haag and Scheveningen. It was electrified with a 10,000 volt AC power supply. After World War I the Dutch government decided to install a committee to investigate electrification of the Dutch State Railways, Nederlandse Spoorwegen, formed in 1917 but officially only instigated in 1937. For that, the committee members traveled the world to visit existing electrified railways. In the early 1920s they came to the conclusion that a 1500 volt DC system would be the best choice. Most Dutch electrified rolling stock were EMU's. During World War II the German occupiers used these EMU sets to haul heavy freight trains for...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The class was shipped to the Netherlands in September 1969 by ferry from Harwich to Zeebrugge. They were then tripped to Tilburg workshops for assessment and repairs. One locomotive, no. E27005 Minerva was considered to be in too poor a state to be repaired and so was broken up for spare parts. The remaining six locomotives entered the workshops for various modifications, including the fitting of Dutch headlight clusters, new pantographs and a new braking system. They were renumbered in the 1500 series in the order they left their workshops, starting with E27003 as 1501 in May 1970 and ending with E27002 as 1506 in June 1971. Данное издание не является...

The NS Mat '64 or Materieel '64 electric multiple units were built by Werkspoor and later Waggonfabrik Talbot between 1964 and 1976. They are operated in the Netherlands by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS). The class are actually called Plan T and Plan V. These are now the oldest units used by the NS. The Plan V is a 2-car version and the Plan T, a 4-car electric multiple unit. Both are almost identical from the front. The class is being withdrawn at the moment, but many are still in service over the electrified lines, generally as a Stoptrein, but also Sneltreinen and Intercity.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Due to the First World War the economic situation had declined in the Netherlands, and the railway companies started to lose money. The railway companies were considered of great importance and thus letting them slip into bankruptcy was not an option. The companies thus started an intensive cooperation in which their operational activities were completely integrated, even though the companies themselves remained independent entities. To financially support the companies, shares were bought by the Dutch government. In 1938 the government merged the HSM and SS into the current company, the Nederlandse Spoorwegen. The government bought the remaining shares, but never nationalized the company....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! NS-Shaft is a platform game in which the player attempts to descend into a cave. There are two controls, which move the player to the left and the right. The platforms move up the screen at a constant rate. A ceiling of spikes hovers at the top of the screen. The goal is to fall from platform to platform rapidly enough to not be hit by the spikes, but slowly enough not to fall off the bottom of the screen. In this way, NS-Shaft is the exact opposite of its sister game, NS-Tower. There are two ways to die: by hitting too many spikes and running out of health, or falling off the bottom of the screen. Hitting spikes (either on the ceiling, or on a platform) reduces the player's amount of health,...
