I once took this picture at Het Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht back in 2017.

After the railway company had recovered from its worst war damage, it was time to replace the oldest equipment with new ones. It is known that in 1958 the last steam train ran with the last wooden carriages. The 3737 steam locomotive and the C 5055 wooden carriage came into the museum. But the oldest electrical equipment had also had its day. After the war, the ZHE-ers were no longer in service except for two carriages. And for those two it was done in 1947 too. The motor vehicle is in the museum as ZHESM 6. From 1956 the Block boxes were withdrawn from the electric service and in 1959 the last train of this type ran under its own power. This was made possible by the influx of electrical equipment type 1954 (EM '54). 7 train series were ordered:

Plan F: 2-car multiple units 321 - 334: 4-car multiple units 711 - 741: 1956
Plan G: 2-car multiple units 335 - 350: 4-car multiple units 742 - 757: 1957
Plan M: 2-car trainsets 351 - 365: 1958
Plan P: 4-car trainsets 761 - 786: 1959 - 1962
Plan Q: 2-car trainsets 371 - 393: 1962

The equipment had steel (crash) noses for the cabs to better protect the driver in the event of a collision. Because of that nose the nickname was 'Dog head material'. The equipment stood out for its good driving characteristics and was therefore ideally suited for the Intercity services between the Randstad and the north and east of our country.

From 1977 onwards, they were succeeded in these services by new Intercity rolling stock with transfer heads (ICM).

History of trainset 386: In 1962 the 2-car trainset in the grass green color came into service.
In 1965 she was equipped with ATB.
In 1969, the 386 was slightly modernized, converting the conductor's room into a mini kitchen, and a toilet into a new conductor's room.
In 1971 the trainset was equipped with 3rd headlights.
In 1977 the 386 received a major overhaul, whereby the train was painted yellow.
In 1996 the trainset was taken out of service and handed over to the Railway Museum.
In 2005 the house style yellow of the exterior was replaced by the original green. The ABDk was placed in the museum and the Bk stored in a shed in Utrecht.
In 2008 the couple was combined again and made serviceable. From April 1, 2009, ATB became mandatory for all equipment that drives faster than 40 km / h. Until 2011, the 386 was the only museum train set that owned ATB, with which it provided rides with the Heimwee Expres every second weekend of the month.

The Mat '54 'Hondekopvier' Foundation owns the also preserved four-car set 766 of plan P.
