This created for the first time the possibility of designing a 2'C2' tank engine, which was completely derived from the 1910-originating four-cylinder series NS 3700.

Until then, lighter two-cylinder locomotives of the series NS 6000 with a maximum axle load of 15.4 tons represented the limited possibility for a Dutch tank engine.

6103 also belonged to the first nineteen locomotives that had to be scrapped after the liberation as a result of war damage.

On September 29, 1945, permission was obtained to scrap this heavily damaged locomotive, among other things.

According to information from Mr. Van Wijck Jurriaanse, the scrapping (without boiler) took place in April 1946 on the site of the Wpc Tilburg, but given the inconvenient condition of 6103, it seems more likely that the locomotive has come to its final end in Arnhem.
