Former SNCB 8040, now SCM 260.040 stands at Maldegem during the SCM's annual Steam Weekend on 6 May 2023. Between 1960 and 1963, SNCB received 69 locos of this type and numbered them into the 260 series -at the same time Deutsche Bundesbahn numbered the same type into Class V 60. After 1968 DB pressed a new number system into service, turning Class V 60 into 260 and quickly after that into 360. About the same time, in 1971, SNCB got a new four digit number system, where the Class numbers 260.0 were abandoned in favour of Class 80 (8001-8069). Note that Class 260/80 differs clearly from other shunter Classes 83-85 but look quite similar to Classes 73 and 82, the more powerful versions of Class 80. Leonardus Schrijvers

Due to environmental controversies concerning the Tata steel plant at IJmuiden, the steel giant decided against further steam excursions on her terrain and planted Loco 22 with the SCM in Belgium and four-axle loco 57 'BONNE' at the Miljoenenlijn/ZLSM in the very southern tip of the Netherlands.
