Diesel locomotive 265 "Sik" of the Dutch State Railways in a yellow/grey livery. ¦ Model with a crane ¦ Equipped with digital shunting coupling - more fun guaranteed! ¦ Motor stem and gearbox made of die-cast zinc, therefore more dead weight and high tractive power ¦ Rich detailing on the model with many plug-in parts and freestanding handles ¦ Authentic light and sound functions switchable via onboard decoder ¦ Switchable flashing light on the driver's cab ¦ Clear view through the driver's cab replica ¦ Buffer capacitor for uninterruptible power supply Between 1934 and 1951, the Dutch State Railways bought the 2-axle diesel shunting locomotives from the manufacturer Werkspoor. CW Zwolle also delivered one locomotive series. A total of 169 locomotives were built but in various series and slightly different designs. The locomotives were known for their striking exhaust noise and as a result, railway workers and railway fans called them "Sikken" or "Sik," which means "Goat" in English. Fifteen of these locomotives were delivered with mobile cranes. After the original green livery, the NS later applied the yellow-grey colour scheme. The diligent working horses made unremitting efforts when operating throughout the Netherlands. In the second half of the 1990s, stricter safety regulations led to the still remaining locomotives' decommission. Many of them are preserved or still in operation at museum railways and some private railway companies.
