Designed as part of Hunslet’s rugged 16-inch cylinder class, it was intended for heavy shunting and short-haul industrial work, particularly in quarries, ironworks, and collieries where power and durability were more important than speed. “Ring Haw” spent its working life at the Nassington Ironstone Quarries near Peterborough, operated by the United Steel Companies, where it hauled loaded ironstone trains from the quarry face to exchange sidings for transfer to mainline rail services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe locomotive’s name comes from Ring Haw, one of the quarries it served, and it represents the kind of robust industrial engine that powered Britain’s extractive industries through much of the twentieth century. Built to a 0-6-0 saddle tank configuration, the engine’s three coupled axles gave it strong traction on rough industrial tracks, while the saddle tank design allowed for a compact layout with the water tank mounted over the boiler to maximize adhesion and simplify maintenance. The 16-inch cylinder diameter referred to in its classification indicates the size of its inside cylinders, which, combined with a short wheelbase and low overall weight, made it ideal for tight curves and uneven ground.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Borishotch Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52402258411863,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/1050\/4791\/files\/IMG_20251020_171908.jpg?v=1766471923","url":"https:\/\/borishotch-industries.co.uk\/products\/hunslet-16-0-6-0st-no-1982-ring-haw-hueforge","provider":"Borishotch Industries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
