The Railway Museum (Dutch: Het Spoorwegmuseum) in Utrecht is the Dutch National Railway Museum.
It was established in 1927 and since 1954 has been housed in the former Maliebaan station. The museum currently owns a large and varied collection of rolling stock.
Diesel-Electric Multiple Unit (DMU) NS 20, named "Kameel" of the type DE-1 built in 1954 by NV Allan & Co’s Koninklijke Nederlandsche Fabriek van Meubelen en Spoorwegmaterieel, Rotterdam for the NS.
Preserved at the Spoorwegmuseum / Railway Museum in Utecht Maliebaan former Station. July 15th, 2022.
The NS 20 was delivered in 1954 for inspection trips by the management of NS. President Director at the time was Dr. Ir F.Q. the Dutchman. Both at the front and at the rear there were salons for 14 people, from which one had a good view over the railway. Both steering positions were raised behind the saloons, so that the driver could see into the distance over the roof of the saloon. The two roof domes that were created as a result soon earned the nickname 'Camel'. The carriage was painted in two shades of blue.
In 1972 the NS 20 was due for a major overhaul. Before that started, the motor vehicle was allowed to tour the Netherlands in the Toppop colors for the music TV program 'Toppop'. Part of the overhaul was the house style of the motor vehicle, whereby it was painted yellow. After the overhaul, the carriage with the name 'VIP-car' became available for group rides.
On January 31, 1991, the carriage was last driven to the public and on March 8, the last ride was driven for the NS management. At the beginning of April, the NS 20 drove under its own power to the Lijnwerkplaats in Zwolle to hand over its generators and add them to the reserve for the Blue Angels (now renovated and painted yellow). These trainsets were struggling with a shortage of parts in that period.
From that moment on, the NS 20 was no longer usable and was brought to the Railway Museum behind DE locomotive NS 2205 and accompanied by the separately attached diesel engines.
In 2005 there was again a need for an inspection vehicle, which is why it was started to make the 'Camel' roadworthy again with a major repair. Generators of the now-discharged Blue Angels had become available again, two of which were selected and, after revision, were re-installed in the NS 20. The low-voltage supply and the kitchen layout have been adapted in some respects for contemporary use. The motor vehicle, painted in the original blue colors, drove under its own power to the museum on 15 March 2008, where it is kept in good service.
The motor vehicle is owned by the NS.

NS - The Netherlands On 2 July 2021 former NS board of directors motor car DE20 "De Kameel" (The Camel, because of the driving positions sticking out above the roof), now owned by the National Railway Museum, was taken out on a conditioning run. One of the destinations was the PON yard at Leusden, south of Amersfoort.

One of the destinations was the PON yard at Leusden, south of Amersfoort. DE20 has almost reached Amersfoort Centraal station, which is just behind the road bridge in the distance.
At this very location the station
Amersfoort-Staat used to be, built in 1886 on the HSM railway line
Amsterdam-Amersfoort-Kesteren-Nijmegen. It was replaced together with
the nearby NCS station (railway line Utrecht-Amersfoort-Zwolle) by
a new central railway station for Amersfoort in 1901.
