Why this locomotive matters
The Class 35 Hymek was one of British Rail's most distinctive diesel-hydraulic locomotives, built for the Western Region during the transition from steam to diesel traction. Named after its Maybach engine and hydraulic transmission, the class became a familiar sight on passenger and freight services throughout western England and Wales.
D7020 in two-tone green represents the classic appearance of these locomotives during the early British Rail diesel era, making it an excellent addition to period-correct layouts featuring Western Region stock.
How to use it
Place the locomotive on compatible N gauge track and connect it to a suitable controller. Couple it to passenger coaches or freight wagons using the fitted couplings. Regular wheel and track cleaning will help ensure smooth and reliable operation.
This is a detailed scale model designed for collectors and railway modellers. It is not a toy.
