24081 approaches Hailes on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway with the 09:55 Winchcombe to Toddington freight on 24 September 2005, during the line's Diesel Gala. Crisp autumnal lighting with the sun just glancing across the front end make ideal photographic conditions. The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway seems to be very lucky with the weather for its diesel galas, and the combination of a varied fleet of locomotives plus numerous photographic vantage points makes it always worth a visit.

24081 arrives at Yarwell Junction with the 2E45 09:50 Wansford to Peterborough service on 1 March 2008, during the Nene Valley Railway's Diesel Gala. 27066 can just be seen on the rear of the train. Yarwell Junction is a terminus now, but was a formerly a junction between the lines from Market Harborough and Northampton. Trains start from Wansford and run the short distance to this point before reversing and then passing through Wansford again en-route to Peterborough.
