During June 1978 55004 (D9004) "QUEEN'S OWN HIGHLANDER" is seen awaiting repairs at Doncaster Works. On the 16th June 55004 entered the paint shop at Doncaster and received coats of paint to both yellow front ends and bogie and fuel tank cleaning. This was in preparation for the open days held at the works over the weekend of 17th and 18th June 1978 during which 55004 was parked on 'the lawn' outside the main erecting shops as an exhibit. Actual repairs, however, took a while longer and the locomotive did not re-enter service until December 1979.
