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 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)
