I love this yellow cargo train, but I was wondering what real life train it is based on. Anyone an idea?

Colours look inspired by Dutch railways, I would guess the loco is invented to suit available parts. http://www.spoorwegmaterieel.nl/Treinen-1277.jpg

I have my suspicions, as it could be this one:

British Rail class 60 with a pantrograph added to make it electric:

OR

it could be British Rail class 92, which has a pantrograph and is bodyshape very similiar to the class 60:

Otrher than that, I don't know!

Perhaps, something more European:

maybe with a hint of Japanese:

Even the youngest in that lineup is from 1969. I don't think that 7939 is based on a real-life prototype and definitely not a Dutch one.
