D4 & 45133 Golden Valley 23 July 1994

D4 Great Gable & 45133 head through the dappled sunlight at Golden Valley with the 11:35 train from Butterley during the Midland Railway Centre's Diesel Gala on 23 July 1994. The similarity in the classes is immediately obvious, although of course Class 44s can easily be identified by the presence of headcode discs.

D4 Kinchley Lane 2 April 1995

D4 Great Gable catches the evening sun as it approaches Kinchley Lane on the Great Central Railway with a Leicester North to Loughborough service on 2 April 1995, during the line's Diesel Gala. Note the newly installed double track, which at this time was not yet in use, hence the impression that the Peak is running wrong line. A blessing as far as photography is concerned, just look how much more shaded the near track is at this time of day.
