Thanks! I am not sure if it looks better in British or Dutch livery though.

... British locomotives have a very odd habit of ending up with the Dutch Railways... >.>

Seems like it! I heard that in the Utrecht railway museum there is a Sharp Stewart 4-4-0 similar to locomotives sold to the Furness Railway.

It's not just that - you've got the Austerity 2-8-0s that became the NS Class 4300; the Austerity 2-10-0s that became the NS Class 5000II; the English Electric WD diesels that became the NS Class 500, 600 & 700; the Vulcan Foundry WD diesels which became the NS 161-165 Class...

That's quite a lot of locomotives! I imagine a visit to a Dutch railway museum or heritage railway might look pretty familiar then....
