Help to identify class 08 shunter.

[Lesterhoss]

Can anyone advise the no of shunter H050 which I saw at Eastern Rail Services, Great Yarmouth last week. As I recall it has a blue body and grey cab. It has Weardale Railway printed on the body sides.
None of my reference books list this number. Many thanks,

I believe that is NS Class 600 no. 653, formerly based in the Netherlands. Found a UKPRSL entry for it here with its current number HO 50: http://ukprsl.uk/final-results.asp?action=display&Id=2151

It came back via Butterley along with one of its sisters, I have a photo of the two of them at Swanwick somewhere in my collection.

I probably saw it in the Netherlands many years ago when my friend and I travelled extensively in Northern Europe. We saw a number of the EE class 600's on our travels.
