No.765 was built in 1914 and was one of a third series of combination cars built for routes with low bridges. The combination cars were built with a central saloon and open smoking compartments at each end.

It is the only surviving combination car in the United Kingdom. Its body was stored at Pioneer Farm, Blackmoorfoot, near Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. It was rescued in 1960 and restored and now resides at Heaton Park Tramway. It visited Beamish in 2011.

The model is made from a Tramalan white metal kit and is fitted with an Alan Kirkman Halling based HT1 chassis which has one powered and one trailing bogie.
