Locomotoras de vapor - Países Bajos: libros - historia

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

Poco después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los Ferrocarriles Neerlandeses (NS) buscaban una modernización a gran escala. Las locomotoras de vapor no tenían futuro en la Holanda de posguerra, pero el material rodante dañado o perdido hizo que NS no pudiera prescindir del vapor en los primeros años.

Construir cientos de locomotoras de vapor nuevas habría sido demasiado costoso, ya que NS esperaba utilizarlas solo por un tiempo limitado. Por ello, también se consideró la compra de locomotoras de segunda mano.
Entre 1945 y 1946, NS puso en servicio varias series adquiridas al War Department británico y a los ferrocarriles suizos. Además, se utilizaron locomotoras alemanas que quedaron en Países Bajos y se construyeron cincuenta locomotoras nuevas en Suecia.

Algunas series estuvieron en servicio solo unos pocos años, otras hasta el fin de la tracción a vapor en 1958. Todas contribuyeron a la reconstrucción del ferrocarril neerlandés y a la recuperación económica del país.
Este libro presenta la historia de estas series de locomotoras en palabras e imágenes. Eelco Storm recopiló muchas fotografías inéditas para "Stoomtractie van de wederopbouw".

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

Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la compañía ferroviaria de los Países Bajos era esencial para la reconstrucción y debía volver a estar operativa rápidamente. Se consideró la posibilidad de comprar equipos de países neutrales como Suecia y Suiza.
Después de la liberación, era importante encontrar reemplazos para las numerosas locomotoras destruidas, y el NS recurrió al SBB. Como resultado, 42 locomotoras suizas de diferentes series sirvieron en los Países Bajos durante varios años.

Esta publicación proporciona información detallada sobre los antecedentes de la compra, los preparativos y las transferencias a los Países Bajos, así como el uso de las locomotoras de trenes expresos ex-SBB en el NS. En primer lugar se presenta un informe sobre el rendimiento operativo de las locomotoras en Suiza y la tecnología de las máquinas. Las imágenes de gran formato, en su mayoría fotografías inéditas, cuentan su propia historia. Algunas historias personales dan vida tanto al espíritu de la época como a las máquinas descritas.

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!

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.

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.
