NS 3737 And The Great Central Connection

NS no.3737 is the only Dutch 4-6-0 (or 2C if you like) preserved, at the Spoorwegmuseum (railway museum) in Utrecht. They were inspired by the Noord Brabantsch Duitsche Spoorweg's Class 2C, the first Dutch 4-6-0 ever. But it turns out, they were based on a design by John George Robinson of the Great Central Railway. The obvious question is: Which locomotives were the inspiration?
