~Rh 2200 NS rotbraun III + PluX22 Dec.

The diesel-electric, four-axle bogie locomotives of the series 2200 of the Dutch State Railways NS characterized the period of the traction change from steam to diesel locomotives in their procurement years from 1955 to 1958. Together with the series 2400, 280 units were put into service. With their single-end driver´s cabs and long front ends, the locomotives embodied an American design. However, the NS locomotives were built exclusively by Western European companies. The 100 km/h locomotives could not only be used in freight train and shunting service, but were also popular in front of passenger trains. In front of heavy ore trains, up to four locomotives of the 900 HP machines were sometimes used in multiple traction. A PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 with mfx capability is installed ex works, and the locomotive is also prepared for easy retrofitting with sound and the largest possible speaker.
