Class 44 "Peak" number 4 Great Gable was undergoing another identity crisis when seen at the East Lancashire Railway on 27th June 1998. One side of the loco had been given the number and name of 1 Scafell Pike. The loco has also masqueraded as D5 in the past, when painted green.

Great Gable later disgraced itself by failing at Rawtenstall with low oil pressure, and had to be rescued by Great Western 4-6-0 number 5029 Nunney Castle. Having hauled the train back to Bury, the "Castle" is seen preparing to detach the "Peak" from the train.

D4 latterly Class 44 'Great Gable' seen at Butterley on the Midland
Railway Centre. This photogrphed on 23 June 2000 as preparations were
being made for the Diesel Weekend. This gave the Class name to the
Class 45 & 46 of the 'Peaks' even though many of the Class 45 & 46's
were named after Regiments.
