I do remember seeing Gresley coaches in blood and custard passing through Stratford in the late '50s but they didn't really look good. The Thompson steel coaches always seemed to be maroon though the Gresleys were special coaches (diners, kitchen etc.) so maybe there wasn't a priority to paint them maroon.

The DMU group West Midlands have paint a two car 108 in blue and grey. Hoped to be operational soon.

I suspect it will be a while before the SVR C&W paints the mark 1s in B&G. One of them said over their dead body, and another asked if the person suggesting the repaint was paying.

Is that the DMU at Kidderminster? If so l think it was spotted outside the shed today?

Indeed, it looks rather nice.
