| - The NS 4300 was a series of steam locomotives of the Dutch Railways (NS), taken over from the British War Department. The locomotives, with 1'D wheel arrangement, were built between 1943 and 1945 by North British Locomotive Company and the Vulcan Foundry for the British War Department to supply the British Army with supplies during their fight against the German army in the West of mainland Europe. Some of the British War Department were in service with NS after the war. Although a total of 237 locomotives were leased, they weren't in service simultaneously. The drivers, who had to stand on the left side of these English machines, had a lot of trouble due to drifting smoke. The Dutch Railways soon lowered the boiler pressure from 15.8 kg/cm² (225 psi) to 12 kg/cm² (170 psi) and extended the chimneys to clear the driver's view from the drifting smoke. The locomotives were nicknamed 'Little Jeeps'. (en)
- De serie NS 4300 was een serie stoomlocomotieven van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), overgenomen van het Britse War Department. De locomotieven, met de asindeling 1'D, werden tussen 1943 en 1945 gebouwd door en de voor het Britse War Department om het Britse Leger te voorzien van voorraden tijdens hun strijd tegen het Duitse leger op het vasteland van West-Europa. Er waren locomotieven van het Britse War Department die na de oorlog bij NS dienst hebben gedaan. Hoewel er in totaal 237 locomotieven zijn gehuurd, hebben zij nooit alle gelijktijdig dienstgedaan. De machinisten, die op deze Engelse machines links moesten staan, hadden veel last van de neerslaande rook. De NS verlaagde al snel de stoomspanning van 15,8 kg/cm² naar 12 kg/cm² en verlengde de schoorstenen om de machinist te beschermen tegen neerslaande rook. De locomotieven hadden de bijnaam Kleine Jeeps. (nl)
