| 50029 Renown October 2002 |
| The first task faced by the group was to arrange the transport of both 50029 Renown and 50030 Repulse from Bleanavaon to Rowsley. This was not a simple or cheap undertaking, involving moving two large diesel locos from a base up a mountain in South Wales, to a base in the middle of the Peak District. Also a condition of the purchase of the locos was that they were removed from site within approximately a month of purchase, although fortunately this was relaxed by the P and B Railway, which we were very greatfull for. Even so the move was still organised in a fairly short time frame. |

| Renown is seen here pausing on the slip road of Junction 14 of the M1 awaiting a police escort. She waited here for a few hours as the police were over stretched that day, with a multiple accident further north on the M1, a major fire in Nottingham, and I think there was also a concert on in one of Nottinghams Parks to further add to their work load. |
