    I've just been reading about the saving and restoration of 'Newstead' in the latest SR. A great achievement to all involved! I'm curious as to how this engine didn't end up returning to the NVR (where the restoration had started) once fit for service. I would of thought it would be a great little engine for that line, particularly where full carriage rakes aren't required. The North Norfolk railway seems to have an abundance of motive power at the minute so wouldn't have thought it would get any more steaming days than the NVR. Though happy to be corrected.
