Looks like Arry and Bert's long lost sister to me I would say. Β They'd be triplets. LOL

Nice. So is it a Class 08, 08, 10, or 11 locomotive?

Now here's something I really don't get. Nederlandse Spoorwagen, the national railway company of the Netherlands, never had any Class 08s, so I don't get how this has appeared in NS livery, even with the Netherlands headlight setup. Maybe someone did a mock up job on it, as if to say "If this happened, this is what would have resulted" and there are enough 08s preserved in their original liveries already anyway, or maybe it's been sold to NS. I have no idea, but I'll give you this, it does look quite good in this livery I think.

It's the NS 600 class, basically a licensed copy of the 08.
