    Hi Neil,

    A good few memories among this set, Hymeks were the slightly "exotic" visitors from the Western Region living in Romsey in the early 1970's. Warships and later Westerns appeared on stone trains and general freight but Hymeks only appeared on Bristol - Portsmouth trains. A far cry from clapped out 2 or 3 car modern DMU's.
    A few locations to update or query
    1/164 D7001 Oxford
    97/164 D7008 I think it's Exeter St Davids. See 154/165 for a clearer view of the goods shed
    107/164 D7014 Exeter St Davids, as above
    144/164 D7079 Exeter St Davids
    149/164 D7090 Exeter St Davids
    157/164 D7009 Possibly Maiden Newton? SR concrete lamp posts, but a GW style building. 2O60 was a Bristol - Weymouth service by the late 1970's.
    160/164 D7034 No idea beyond being ex LSWR because of the railway houses in the background.
    164/164 Reading looking west from platform 4

    Cheers, Neil
