50029 at Rowsley 16th September 2007
Although no internal restoration work has been undertaken on 50029, a significant amount of work had been undertaken to make Renown look presentable to visitors to Peak Rail. Still looking pristine having made her debut at the diesel gala a little earlier in the year, Renown is seen stabled on 16th September 2007.

50040 at Coventry in 2007
There have been a number of 50s that were bought for preservation and have subsequently been sold for scrap. The most recent, and hopefully the last was 50040 Leviathan, which is seen here in June 2007 at its last base of Coventry Railway Centre. The locomotive was scrapped by Simms Metals in 2008.

50029 and 50030 at Rowsley on 16th September 2007
Whilst the bodywork was being undertaken on Renown earlier in the year she had been stabled closer to the group's container. However following her unveiling at the diesel gala, the group's focus shifted back to internal work on 50030, as such Renown was repositioned in her more normal location behind Repulse.

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)

50030 at Rowsley 16th September 2007
Here 50030 Repulse is seen on the 16th September 2007 back in the sidings at Rowsley following the diesel gala. The ex-50008 power unit can be seen at the side of locomotive under the tarpaulin. To the left of the image is mark 1 BG 80777 before restoration - this coach was originally purchased for RRRG use but diverted to Peak Rail whose claimed need was greater at the time.
