Slightly off topic Looks very cold at Torside on that day, theres snow on the hils. D414 has no steam heating capacity being ETH only. Would the Mk1s on the Footex have ETH???

When you look at it and do some research (well google) a surprising large number of BR classes visited Woodhead metals. Whilst some of them were in the after DC era , it would also depend on how far you want to stretch your defination of woodhead. Here what Ive seen photographic evidence of. Obvious ones 08,13,20, 24,25,31,37,40,45,47,56. More unexpected 09 Sheffield area in the 90s 23, 55 ran new to Doncater from Vulcan Works. 33 Manchester Pic - cardiff trains in the 90 (can we stretch woodhead to platform 9 at picc!!) 35 Hymeks ran new from Beyer Peacock to WR over Woodhead 44 farewell railtours. 46 Struggled to find this one but some where on the internet is a picture of "the 46" 46026 running light through Dunford in 1981 50 the photo above is I believe from a chap called robin lush, also worked MGRs to Godley Junc. 58 toton - ashburys yard 83, 84 as mentioned hauled to doncaster for refurb. 86 as pictured 87 seen at Reddish depot for rectification work in the 1970s which I suppose leaves 17,21/29, 26, 27, 41,42/43,52 Apparently some 17s spent time allocated to Barrow hill could we have one on a freight to Tinsley !!!! I seen a pict of a 27 on the GCR mainline in notts but thats defo stretching it Any extra information welcome
