Two Hymek Class 35s and a North British Class 22 await the inevitable in Swindon Works yard in 1972. The NBL Class 22 is in early rail blue with a half yellow panel and engineless although the flat wagon next to it appears to be carrying a power unit under the tarpaulin. The green Hymek has already lost its engine and the roofless early blue specimen behind is in an equally sorry state. My records from the time indicate that the Class 22 was D6322 and the green Hymek is D7024.
