This used to be a very common sight, yellow and burgundy liveried NMBS/SNCB Class 11 locos pushing or pulling NS coaching stock on international services from Brussels to Amsterdam. However, in the past the Dutch coaching stock was painted in matching livery, as were the DVTs. A few years ago the rolling stock was re-painted into this white red and pink livery, as were most of the DVTs. The locos have also been replaced by NMBS/SNCB Class 28s (or their NS equivalents). Here we see Class 11 number 1181 working a so-called 'Amsterdammer' service from Amsterdam to Brussels, and the DVT which you can just see at the end is also in the old livery.
Class 11 shunter 12049 - only it isn't.The original 12049 was damaged by fire in 2010,so this is sister loco 12082 in disguise.Withdrawn in October 1971 (both 12049 and 12082),the loco is seen here at Ropley shed,on the Mid-Hants Railway.
Masquerading as a near identical LMS and BR Class 11. 12139 was built by English Electric at the Stephenson Works, Darlington in 1948. It spent its working life at ICI Wilton and was withdrawn in 1982.
