Steve 836;
I'm pretty sure that the 'Hook Continental' (approx 2000 ex Liverpool St to Harwich Parkeston Quay) in the late 70s/early 80s had two ex Pullman firsts in the formation, after their withdrawal from ECML use.
They were however in standard (not reversed) blue/grey.

Yes, the WR were most annoyed when the SR nicked it and sent a tatty Maroon one home in its place.

Typical SR, not content with nicking decent LMS locomotives

What? Did the LMS have a decent loco then, apart from the ones Stanier designed when he pinched all Swindon's best ideas of course!

They would have been scrapped if the Southern had not needed them!
