When did the Blue & Grey livery come into use?


XP64 - (not surprisingly, 1964)

Corporate image - circa 1966.

The first Mk 2a's were out shopped in maroon! Some coaches were still in maroon in 1970.

Thanks Jerry, I thought it was right at the end of real railways!

Sorry, that should have been just "The first Mk 2's....".

1923, 1948 ???????

Now I'm sure I'll be corrected but none of the real railways would ever have painted their carriages in grey, at least as a top coat. :-)

Some in BR(SR) green too, but I *think* it was only FOs but attracted these traditional liveries.
