Hi, I am hoping to build a model of this to run, its fascinating and provides an excuse to run diesels. 3 flickr photos have turned up, it appears to be 4 or more Gresley coaches and a cable winder which looks like the same as on original GNR type 6 wheel coaches used to electrify the line. It was kept at Penistone, pics include 31308 and 08052 hauled it at least once.

One coach had at least one pantograph in the Woodhead style.

Anyone know anymore? Thanks...in anticipation

I’ve a friend who’s been trying to find pictures of the penistone one for sometime ,it’s quite an elusive train lol

Interesting, to me those look like different coaches to the ones that stood at penistone ,those look newer or overhauled

They could look newer because the picture was taken on 21.2.71 with D4039, presumably more recent to the conversion date?
