Death sentence on 3411 on 23 November 2019. After a proposed sell to a Romanian operator fell through mercilessly, a massive batch of NS DMUs, stabled at Nijmegen was consigned to the scrap yard and on 23 November 2019 some the Nijmegen batch of a score (two dozen) Buffels were hauled away, like 3411, that is at the end of the train that is about to cross the Waal bridge at Nijmegen.

The Saga ends. Decommissioned NS DM'90s BUFFEL DMUs stood from 2016 at Nijmegen for a possible sale to a Romanian operator. Unclearities in -amongst others- obligatory documentations however ended the sale in 2019. Since Prorail and Nijmegen wanted the area, where 48 BUFFELs were stored, to be cleared up for building an extra platform at Nijmegen, the sale fell through and NS bought the BUFFELs back to get them to the scrapyard. On 13 November 2019 Volker Rail 203-5 hauls the first batch of DM'90 out of Nijmegen. THe saga continues however with Polish operator SKPL buying the entire batch for deployment in services in the Slask and Dolnislask regions. 

NS 3407 stands sidelined at Nijmegen on 21 March 2017. After less than two decades, NS decommissioned these DM 90s after having lost all Diesel operated passenger services to private operators. In 2019 a planned sale to a Romanian operator fell through hopelessly but these DMUs have been sold to Polish operator SKPL. 
