Naming
In the Netherlands, the Dutch call the locomotives Klaas 66, a play on the English word "class" and the Dutch boys' name "Klaas" and the word "Sinterklaas", the Dutch equivalant of Santa Claus. The nickname came about because the first engine delivered to Holland (HGK DE61) is painted red, a colour normally associated with Santa Claus/Sinterklaas.[citation needed]
