With the raised metal 'D's' painted over in green paint, 'Hymek' Type 3 diesel hydraulic No. 7054 is stabled between duties at Gloucester Horton Road MPD on 6th November 1969. New from Beyer Peacock Ltd in November 1962 and initially allocated to Bristol Bath Road (82A), it had a very short service life of ten years and one month. In reality, however, it was even shorter than that, as it was condemned and re-instated twice (1/72-4/72 and 7/72-9/72) before final withdrawal in December 1972. The loco was cut-up at Swindon Works during April 1975.
