Hymeks were the old D70 class (not sure if any of them made it to the modern
numbering system) one of the more obscure locos in the era of legends like
the Deltics and the Westerns (probably one of the reasons I like them).
They were very similar in shape to the 47's.  The last I saw (Traction
magazine Oct/Nov 1994) there was at least one D70 preserved and in operation
and that was D7018.
