As I was disappointed that there appeared to be only one of the remaining class 44s about on this day, I took a walk up to the famous bank to take in the vista of the yard. Then, of course, the two remaining members of the class appeared at once! First, 44007 (ex D7, 'Ingleborough') arrived from the south on a PW working. Then, horror of horrors, celebrity 44008 (ex D8, 'Penyghent') arrived light engine form the north. They both stopped side by side right next to my previous location, the hut near the entrance, and there I was high up on the bank a fifteen minutes walk away......ahh. the joys of our hobby! Just a note regarding this particular photograph, this was one removed from the reject box as it was chronically underexposed. However, with very careful use of Photoshop, I have managed to get it to a presentable level. I revisited this spot in 2020 over forty years on from when I took this photograph and took a similar angled image but not so zoomed, the comparison is interesting, see.... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/29595737604/class-60s-stored-toton-yard-60067
