Back in the dim and distant dark ages known as the 1980's the "Cobbler"
stopped at Leighton Buzzard. When I used it the consist was an 86 and a

of Mk1s.

Definately an 86, the NSE liveried one...................... and I can't
remember the number!

I used it several times. It may have been 86-hauled mostly, but I'm
sure I remember a class 85 on the front on at least one occasion.

All my copies of One H Eighty Blur are in the attic, but I'm pretty
sure it was a roarer working though it may have gone 86 afterwards.
Had a dedicated set of Mk.I's for a while, with games boards printed
on the tables. They tended to turn up on railtours and reliefs for a
number of years afterwards :-)
