Description

Catalog description
Novelty 2026: Between 1946 and 1989, the diesel-electric locomotives of Class 500 shaped the daily operations of the Dutch State Railways (NS). A total of 45 machines were in service – reliable, powerful, and unmistakable. The first ten units (Nos. 501–510) arrived in the Netherlands immediately after World War II via the British War Department. The distinctive gray three-axle locomotives quickly became indispensable helpers in shunting operations – especially at major stations such as Utrecht, Zwolle, and Rotterdam Feijenoord. Thanks to their great reliability, NS soon expanded the fleet: 35 more locomotives (Nos. 511–545) followed, initially in classic olive green and from the 1970s in modern yellow-gray. Version as shunter Rh 600 of the DSB | Digitally switchable cab lighting | Fine spoked wheels, pipes, and handrails | Fitted battery and sandboxes, air tanks, and spring packs | With additional water level indicator, filler neck, whistle, and sign holder | Digital sound versions with numerous prototype-typical sounds | The model comes factory-fitted with a PIKO XP Sound Decoder including a matching speaker | Matching detailing parts for display in a showcase are included with the model
