Piko H0 52698 H0 2275 diesel locomotive of NS alternating current version

New in 2021: The diesel-electric, four-axle bogie locomotives of the series 2200 of the Dutch State Railways NS characterized the time of the traction wall from steam to diesel locomotives in their procurement years from 1955 to 1958. Along with the 2400 series, 280 copies were put into service. With their one-sided end-driver stands and long pre-constructions, the machines represented an American design. However, the NS machines were manufactured exclusively by Western European companies. The 100 km/h fast locomotives could not only be used in the freight train and shunting service, but were also used before the passenger trains. In front of heavy ore trains, up to four locomotives were used in multiple traction from the 900 hp machines.
