    No5, 3809… shame Ring Haw couldn’t make it…

    Wonder if Newstead’s owners would mind it being painted black and carry Ring Haw nameplates for a few days… (I jest). Though Newstead will be a very good substitute for Ring Haw

    Why black? Ring Haw was green when it arrived at the NNR straight out of industrial service. Photo from April 1971.

    My memories of it in the 1980s is in black

    Don’t think it was returned to green until the 2000s

    Over on the NNR FB page it’s been reported that Betton Grange has arrived back on the line.

    I noticed some of the footage was when Newstead was at the NVR. Listening to it, it seems hard to believe now that when I first visited the NNR it was just five years old.
