Woodhead is a model of the now closed station on the ex
GC/LNER Manchester to Sheffield line which gave its name to the entire
route.The layout features
the line during its later years when the 1500v DC overhead
electrification was in full operation, from 1954 to the lines closure in
1981, so look out for plenty of electric hauled services.
The EM1 (later class 76) and EM2 (later class 77) locomotives used on
the layout are heavily modified resin body kits, formerly made by Cempro,
running on Minitrix class 27 chassis’.The overhead catenary, large electricity pylon and associated
equipment were all scratch built from brass sections.
