The last two survivors of the Class 44s are reunited for the appropriately named "Twin Peaks" Diesel Gala at the equally appropriately named Peak Rail. 44004 "Great Gable" is visiting from the Midland Railway Centre and joins the resident D8 "Penyghent". Both locos were built at Derby in 1959 and remained in use with BR until 1980. Rowsley South, Saturday 12th April 2025.
BR Type 4 [Sulzer Type 4] D4 'Great Gable' eases away from Highley station on the Severn Valley Railway during the May 1987 Diesel Weekend operations. My copy of the SVR working timetable for the event confirms it was working the 15:48 Kidderminster Town to Bridgnorth.
The preserved 'Peak' was visiting from the Midland Railway, Butterley.
