Hymek D7043

Categories: Locomotives

Our 1^st Class 35 Hymek, number D7043 arrived at the railway its early days at the Norton Ash Garden Centre.

During its time at Norton Ash and a few years at Brogdale Farm this loco regularly hauled our passenger’s services. Our drivers loved its unique quirks and the comfy ride it offered.

However, not long after the move to Brogdale farm this loco went out of service and has been left to sit in our sheds whilst we wait for its owner to bring it back into service.

Class 35 Hymek

Purchased from Barnards Miniature Railway as a long-term project, this Class 35 Hymek has seen better days. This loco was originally dissembled before being sold in peace’s to Barnards Miniature Railway, who had originally planned to rebuild it an add it to their existing fleet of Mardyke locomotives. Unfortunately, after years of waiting patiently there […]
Red Shunter

Our Red Shunter, commonly known as No. 5 holds a special place in the hearts of the volunteers that get to drive her. This loco has the power and speed you expect from our big engines, but even with this she can be a challenge for the inexperienced driver. No. 5 is a fickle girl […]
