Sik
This week's Saturday Timewatch features NS 248 "Sik" based at the Dutch heritage railway ZLSM. There seem to be quite a number of similar machines preserved around the Netherlands country but this one is a runner. Built in 1935 by Werkspoor, the class NS 200 diesel locomotive was mainly used for shunting duties.
What is most interesting - and can be seen in the photo - is that the locomotive was designed to be operated from a running board on the outside of the engine.
