If you have any definite information as to where these photographs were take – and even useful additional information to improve the captioning – I will be very pleased to hear if it. Thank you. If you have one or two images that are not worth you making available to others yourself, but you wouldn’t mind appearing on this website for that purpose, they would be welcome too – I am quite happy to credit you.
With a tail light on the lamp bracket and broken blinds behind the headcode glass, D7083 waits at the end of a rake of vans plus brake van beside the main line and sleeper piles, under an overbridge, possibly in the London area. It is in rather tired green two-tone livery. 6####FV01-UNK-D7###-GOODS
D7071 arrives off a bridge pulling a freight at a GW station with a steam age water column on one side and modernity on the other. The widely spaced platforms have a centre road that has been truncated with a stop block and has a van parked against it. 640208A01-UNK-D7071-LIGHT
The Hymek’s were the only class of locomotive to have individual relief numbers – which certainly added to their attractiveness. Above is the recess for cards bearing the driver’s name: a practice that was apparently short-lived! Photo: C M Whitehouse. 7####DC01-###-D7011-NUM
D7004 slews off the main line at an unknown location, presumably to enter a platform as suggested by the signal box, speed restriction signs and multi array of semaphores. The Hymek has green livery, but seems yet to acquire front end warning panels. 6####CN01-UNK-D7004-PASGR
A colourful detail of Hymek loco D7065’s cabside, bearing separate digit aluminium relief lettering, the locos builders plate with black background, and red route restriction circle – crammed into a small space on a rail blue ground with yellow warning panel. 7####DU01-UNK-D7065-PARKD
