Н.С. купил 27 из них сразу после Второй мировой войны. Они были построены компанией Hunslet Engine Company (12), WG Bagnall (3), Робертом Стивенсоном и Хоторнсом (RSH) (6) и Хадсвеллом Кларком (6).

В NS Service

После отъезда британской армии в 1945 году голландские железные дороги купили 31 копию. Четыре двигателя были проданы Статсмиджену в Лимбурге через короткое время. Другие 27 были назначены NS-номерами 8801-8827 и использовались для шунтирования до 1957 года. Их понравились экипажи и были известны, чтобы не «оставлять» ни один поезда. Удовлетворение тяжелого угольного поезда не было трудным для этих локомотивов. С их седлом и внутренними цилиндрами они выглядели сильно отличающимися от традиционных голландских шунтирующих локомотивов серии NS 8700 и NS 9500 . В годы между 1953 и 1957 годами были проданы шесть двигателей, пять угольной шахте Лоры и Джулии (8811 и 8826 в 1953 году, 8812 в 1954 году, 8807 и 8815 в 1957 году) и один на Объединенные кооперативные сахарные фабрики в Розендаале (8817 в 1955 году). Оставшиеся двигатели были отменены за это время.

Period after service with the NS

After the NS withdrew the engines in 1957, a large number were sold to the Laura and Julia Mine and the Oranje Nassau Mine, where they remained in use until the mines were closed in 1974. The locomotives that were sold to the Staatsmijnen were scrapped in the period 1960–1961. Three engines have been preserved. In 1981 the Stoom Stichting Nederland bought the former NS 8811, built by Hudswell Clarke in 1943. In 2010 this locomotive was partially made roadworthy. On April 13, 2012, the now completely restored locomotive was presented to invited guests at the SSN depot.

The former NS 8826, built by Hunslet in 1944, was bought in 1975 by the Metaalhandel Gebr. van Raak in Tilburg, who loaned the locomotive to the Stichting Stoomtrein Tilburg-Turnhout between 1976 and 1981 for a heritage steam service on the Tilburg - Turnhout railway line. After the line closed the locomotive returned to Tilburg. In 1998 the locomotive was purchased by the Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij intending to make it roadworthy again. The boiler of the former NS 8812 on the frame of the former NS 8815 has returned to England, where the locomotive bears the name 'Walkden' and is used on the Ribble Steam Railway.
