Can someone please tell me the difference between Swallow Livery and Executive Grey? Up until now I thought my IC225 was Executive Grey but after visiting the above eBay page I'm beginning to think it's IC Swallow.

Thanks. Mine is definitely Swallow. If I'd sold it as 'Executive Grey' I could have been in trouble.

89001 with the blue/grey HST rake - now that is a classic picture there, John - many thanks! Brings back many happy memories of my BR days at Kings Cross, travelling on the 1736 to Peterborough on that set!
Waiting for Mr Taylor's kit in N to model that exact same set.
To summarise the difference in Intercity liveries:
Inter-City / InterCity (Mixed case) - also known as Executive livery - applied from 1984 - 1989
INTERCITY (Uppercase Italic) - also known as SWALLOW livery - applied to repaints from 1988 onwards.
