The NS 4300 was a series of steam locomotives of the Dutch Railways (NS), taken over from the British War Department.

These Austerity 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.[1]

The locomotives were nicknamed 'Little Jeeps'.[2]
