#ThirtyFiveThursday A couple of shots of #Hymek D7076 at a wet #EastLancsRailway spring 2023 diesel gala. These BR WR hydraulic locos are always a favourite of mine when i see them at a heritage line, they have a unique sound & loads of character. #ELR 30/6/23
Happy New Year to all in the Blue Sky railway community and beyond. D7018 showing her New Year headcode at Leicester North just after the stroke of midnight during the fantastic Great Central Railway #Nightrider service. #GCR #Hymek 🎉🥂🍻🔥 1/1/26
2025. Completed ✅️
The year was seen in with 🚜 D6700 at the Great Central Railway and the final minutes of 2025 spent at the same location with #Hymek D7018. #NewYear2025 #GCR #Nightrider 31/12/25
It's that time of year again, seeing in the new year aboard the Great Central Railway #Nightrider service. This year was a bit special as the up workings were hauled by visiting #Class35 #Hymek D7018. For those who enjoy a cup of tea there was also a kettle on t'other end #GCR 31/12/25
A train in the rain. One of D7018 from the archives. "Class 35 'Hymek' no D7018 at Blue Anchor on a very wet 11 June 1993 with the 12 coach 6pm Minehead to Mallaig special." [my pic] #railway #wsr #somerset #mallaig #minehead #hymek #rain
#WesternRegionWednesday Another stunner at the Great Central Railway diesel gala last weekend. Courtesy of the #DEPG, #Hymek #Class35 D7018 was a fantastic guest loco. Seen here running round her stock at Leicester North before returning to Loughborough. #GCR 6/9/25

#ThirtyFiveThursday Under a darkening sky, D7017 poses in the autumn sunshine at Loughborough Central during the Great Central Railway autumn diesel gala in 2017. That #Maybach V16 sounded great & I believe that sister #Hymek D7018 is due to visit the line for this year's gala. #GCR 9/9/17
