D8 Penyghent at Darley Dale
On the evening of 10th November 2007 the East Midlands Railway Photographic Society held a follow up to its night shoot at Darley Dale with 50029 Renown and 50030 Repulse, using D8 Penyghent and D9016 Gordon Highlander. This was the first EMRPS charter to feature a Deltic on a passenger train, the station at Darley Dale providing the opportunity to give the illusion of being on double track. Here D8 is seen standing on the maroon passenger rake. (Mark Burrows)

31270 (as 31421) at Darley Dale during the EMRPS night shoot
The shunt loco for the night was 31270, which at the time was masquerading as then recently scrapped 31421 in Regional Railways livery. This looked so good, it simply couldn't be refused, and as such is seen posed on the stock on 10th November 2007. (Mark Burrows)

31270 waits at Darley Dale
31270 had been repainted from trainload coal livery by a small group of Peak Rail volunteers, which had included a number of RRRG members. The choice of Regional Railways livery was the result of a competition organised by Peak Rail and RRRG member Andy Coward. Looking immaculate in its recently applied Regional Railways livery, masquerading as 31421, 270 awaits the opening of the gates at Darley Dale on the evening of 10th November 2007. (Mark Burrows)
