Roadrails Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 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 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrails Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 That's great, thanks very much. These are the pics I found, hopefully someone knows a bit more about what they spawned from, the more pics, the merrier! https://www.flickr.com/photos/tractionart/7410092504/in/photolist-chNEkA-dFqbvz-cA1vMq https://www.flickr.com/photos/tractionart/8322342603/in/photolist-chNEkA-dFqbvz-cA1vMq/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/tractionart/7604785502/in/photolist-chNEkA-dFqbvz-cA1vMq/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 19, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2017 On Paul Bartlett's site there are some of the very similar coaches from the Romford train. The ones in Mike's photo look like Gresely's that have been re-skinned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted December 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 19, 2017 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 Brian They could look newer because the picture was taken on 21.2.71 with D4039, presumably more recent to the conversion date?
