The Dutch State Railways purchased the two-axle shunting diesel locomotives from the manufacturer Werkspoor between 1934 and 1951, and a delivery series was also made by CW Zwolle. A total of 169 units were built in several series and slightly different designs. Due to their distinctive exhaust noise, they have become known as "Sikken" or "Sik" - singular for "goat" - among railway workers and railway enthusiasts.

Fifteen of these machines were delivered with movable cranes. After the original green paintwork, the yellow-grey colour scheme was later used. The hardworking little workhorses were in tireless use all over the Netherlands. In the second half of the 1990s, stricter occupational health and safety regulations led to the decommissioning of the remaining locomotives. Many of them have been preserved or are still in operation on heritage railways and some private railway companies.
