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 :-)
