Are there any UK heritage railways operating Mark 1 carriages and using electric train heating?

I'm part of a team restoring a TSO and it has been suggested that we reinstate the electric train heating. This will involve, at the least, replacing all wiring and conduit, while the long obsolete heating units will require detailed exam/testing.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. :)

The line I initially thought of was the Mid Norfolk Railway. They run a mixture of mk1s, mk2s and mk3s. At least one of their mk1s appears to be listed as dual heating, so it might be worth getting in touch with them?
