Historical Data Renewals of various classes (Webb Precedents, Webb Newtons and Ramsbottom Newtons plus a handful of rebuilt Precedents.
The term 'Renewal' is more of an accounting term and in reality, very little, if any, of the renewed locomotive was carried over to the new locomotive. For this reason, the renewals are being treated as new locomotives on BRDatabase, despite oftn carrying the same name and number as it's predecessor.
