The NS locserie 1100 is an electric locomotive that was used by the Dutch Railways. Between 1950 and 1999

In the years after World War II was heavily damaged railway rebuilt and then largely electrified. After the lines in the west and center of the country already under the wire were placed in the thirties in 1948 came from other lines' turn. In addition to the purchase of equipment for streamlining the passenger service were now electric locomotives purchased on a larger scale.

After the initial period with leased locomotives from England and France and the ten Swiss railway locomotives of the series in 1000, were purchased another hundred electric locomotives between 1950 and 1956. Of these, 75 were of French manufacture and derived from existing French locomotives.

The NS-series in 1100 was based on the four-axle locomotive SNCF BB 8001 and 8100 series BB. The first fifty railway locomotives and the first 136 French locomotives were built between 1948 and 1952 at the same time including Alstom in Belfort. After a series of 34 pieces for the SNCF were ten locomotives to the NS redelivered in 1956 with the numbers 1151 to 1160. Locomotives of this type were then also supplied to the railways in Morocco. With the increasing number of electrified railway lines was thought to follow order of five units in July 1954. 1161-1165 These are however never built.

The 1101-1150 were delivered in the new turquoise color that the NS introduced in 1950. The simultaneously delivered coaches Plan D got this color. Because turquoise was very contagious (there were still driving steam locomotives), the electric locomotives and carriages mid fifties Berlin painted blue. The 1151-1160 were delivered in Berlin blue. In the seventies, a large number of locomotives painted yellow-gray in the NS-house colors. Because the buffer and draw gear to the bogies and was confirmed by the small size and short wheelbase the locomotives were sometimes very restless. Many a driver has been thrown by the shaking of his seat. Over the years they have tried everything to improve. Driveability

The 1100 and were more than thirty years for all kinds of trains across the country to see. From the advent of the 1600s and in the eighties, the 1100 and the second plan.

Accident and crash nose
The 1156 was killed in a railway accident in Tilburg in 1961, including loc 1006 came to an end. The 1131 crashed in the largest railway accident in the Netherlands, in Harmelen in 1962.

The 1129 came in 1978 when Westervoort collided with a diesel train. This was however restored. Upon restoration of the locomotive was a long-cherished wish of the drivers completed. Who did not feel very safe behind the front straight. The flat nose was extended with a crumple zone in the form of a ball nose, the 'bots nose' (there was no plating removed), so collisions give. More protection to the operator Until 1981, all 58 locomotives as adjusted.
The 1141 was lost in a railway accident, when it derailed in 1986 by Heeze.

Out of service
The arrival of the double-decker railcars type mDDM in the nineties made a part of the locomotives delivered from 1991 of the series released in 1700 that the electric locomotives replaced from the fifties in turn. So went the last in 1100 and have. Retired in 1999, after nearly 50 years served

The 1125 was largely brought the railway anniversary in 1989 in the original state (without bots painted nose and turquoise) and with locplaten with the number in 1122 (because the real 1122 was the last they were preserved lost). This locomotive is now included in the collection of Dutch Railway Museum in Utrecht. This is currently being revised again.
