The Dutch State Railways acquired the two-axle shunting diesel locomotives from the manufacturer 
Werkspoor between 1934 and 1951, and a delivery series also from CW Zwolle. A total of 
169 units were built in several series and slightly different designs. Due to their characteristic 
exhaust noise, they have become known as "Sikken" or "Sik" - singular for "goat" - among 
railway workers and railway enthusiasts. 
Fifteen of these machines were equipped with cranes in the 1970s. After the original green paint, the 
yellow-grey paint scheme was later applied. The hard-working workhorses worked tirelessly 
all over the Netherlands. In the second half of the 1990s, stricter occupational safety regulations 
led to the decommissioning of the remaining locomotives. 
Many of these have been preserved or are still in operation on museum railways and some private 
railway companies.
