Locomotive a vapore - Paesi Bassi: libri illustrati di storia e guide

De Nederlandse Stoomlocomotieven

For steam train enthusiasts, railway historians, and the general public, earlier editions of H. Waldorp's work on Dutch steam trains have become an important reference. Even those who did not experience these trains firsthand regard Waldorp's work as a reliable source of information.

This new edition is historically more accurate and contains more technical details. The text has been completely revised, retaining old information, but rewritten and expanded.
Errors have been corrected and gaps in the history have been filled. New research has been conducted and more literature consulted. Comparisons with foreign trains have been added, as well as information on suppliers to the Netherlands and Heads of Traction at various railway companies.
The photo archive has been updated and new photos have been added, including rare images such as a photo from 1856 of a broad-gauge train of the Hollandse Spoor, unique due to its age. The driver is even wearing a white coat!

Lodewijk Derens - Nederlands eerste spoorwegfotograaf, 1880-1956

Lodewijk - or Lou - Derens (1880-1956) was the first photographer in the Netherlands who photographed and documented as many Dutch steam locomotives of his time as possible. His first shots date from 1894. He continued to photograph until after the Second World War, with the focus of his activities in the years between 1910 and 1938.

His work is of great importance to the Netherlands, especially because he - often the only one - recorded some steam locomotives that were about to be scrapped for posterity in this way.

He was not only active in the Netherlands, he also photographed in the surrounding European countries in those same years, which resulted in special and beautiful images. Belgium, France, England, Germany and Austria were the destination of his travels between 1910 and 1934 and he also managed to take interesting pictures there.

The name Derens is not unknown in circles of enthusiasts of the history and development of the steam locomotive. A number of his photos have been used before, but here many previously unknown photos are printed for the first time.
Thus, with this book, the name and work of Lodewijk Derens become widely known.

Stoom bij NS in de jaren dertig: Nederlandse stoomlocomotieven door Britse fotografen geportretteerd

In the 1930s, British railway enthusiasts visited our country to photograph NS steam locomotives. The appearance of the Dutch rolling stock reminded them in many ways of the locomotives on their own railway network. And not without reason.
The photos that the British took here were of sublime quality. Forty years after their visit, some prints (cropped and in small format) were for sale in the so-called Photomatic collection. In addition, there is the little-known negative collection of photographer Ransome-Wallis, which is now in the National Railway Museum in York.

Here and there a number of British photos have been used for publications, but a comprehensive photographic report of what the British captured on film here has been lacking until now. "Steam at NS in the thirties" is now changing that.
This book shows numerous, previously unpublished photos and also presents them in a coherence, provided with many details that were previously unknown. And precisely because the British took beautiful, sharp shots at the time, these photos come into their own in large format. This is a tribute to the British photographers, who with their beautiful photos give us a glimpse into a time when steam traction was already on the decline but was still not to be missed.

Stoomtractie van de wederopbouw - Buitenlandse locs bij NS 1945-1958

Shortly after the Second World War, the Dutch Railways (NS) aimed for large-scale modernization. Steam locomotives had no future in post-war Netherlands, but damaged or lost rolling stock meant NS could not abandon steam traction in the early years.

Building hundreds of new steam locomotives would have been too expensive, as NS expected to use them only briefly. Therefore, the purchase of second-hand locomotives was also considered.
Between 1945 and 1946, NS introduced several locomotive series acquired from the British War Department and Swiss railways. In addition, leftover German steam locomotives were used in the Netherlands, and fifty new locomotives were built in Sweden.

Some series were in service for only a few years, others until the end of steam traction in 1958. All contributed to rebuilding the Dutch railways and the country's post-war economy.
This book presents the history of these locomotive series in words and images. Eelco Storm collected many previously unpublished photographs for "Stoomtractie van de wederopbouw".

Zwitserse sneltrein-locomotieven in Nederland - Ex-SBB A 3/5 600 als serie NS 3500 II

Dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, la compagnia ferroviaria dei Paesi Bassi era essenziale per la ricostruzione e doveva tornare rapidamente operativa. Si pensò di acquistare materiale proveniente da paesi neutrali come la Svezia e la Svizzera.
Dopo la liberazione, divenne importante trovare locomotive di ricambio per le numerose locomotive distrutte, e le NS si rivolsero alle CFF. Così, 42 locomotive svizzere di diverse serie servirono nei Paesi Bassi per diversi anni.

Questa pubblicazione fornisce informazioni dettagliate sul contesto dell'acquisto, sui preparativi e sui trasferimenti nei Paesi Bassi, nonché sull'utilizzo delle locomotive dei treni veloci ex-CFF alla NS. Innanzitutto, viene presentato un rapporto sulle prestazioni di servizio delle locomotive in Svizzera e sulla tecnologia delle macchine. Le immagini in grande formato, per la maggior parte foto inedite, raccontano la loro storia. Alcune storie personali danno vita sia allo spirito del tempo sia alle macchine descritte.
