Treinen ontwerpen bij de Nederlandse Spoorwegen 1970-2015
This book written by Niels Greif, a craftsman with 50 years of experience in the profession, highlights the transformation of the design aspect within the Dutch Railways into an essential business unit.
When he joined NS Design in 1970, train construction was reserved for engineers. With the introduction of design and marketing, the realisation dawned that a train is more than just a means of transporting passengers. This book tells the full story of this development.
After three introductory chapters, thirty rolling stock projects in which Greif was closely involved are discussed in detail. From the first Intercity trains to the infamous Fyra, each project illustrates the spectrum of trains under review.
Besides well-known trains, the book offers insights into unrealised ideas and concepts. It contains numerous previously unpublished illustrations, stories and documents. This makes "Treinen ontwerpen" the definitive book on train design.
Richly illustrated with hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, original drawings, documents and designs. It includes a complete overview of all 33 rolling stock projects designed by NS Design, including many unrealised concepts.
