East Lancashire Railway’s preserved class 35 “Hymek” locomotive D7076 hauls a train from Rawtenstall as it approaches Irwell Vale Delivered new in 1962 from the Beyer Peacock works at Manchester, D7076 had a relatively short working life with British Rail; it was withdrawn from service in May 1973. The locomotive is one of four preserved 'Hymeks' although it is the only preserved example from the later MkII batch. D7076 has recently (summer 2014) returned to the ELR fleet following an overhaul and a repaint into BR Blue livery. http://www.elrdiesel.info/fleet-d7076.php ELR Diesel Group
