Yes, WCRC have had this out in recent trips. Flickr along with my own recent sightings while out on the network confirm this. It now looks a bit worse for wear but so does the whole set now it’s being used as much, often one of the sleeper coaches is swapped out for it, not that the BG has any sleeper facilities to my knowledge.

There seems to be a mk1 pullman added to the rake currently too.

325 has been in the set since August 2020 after 3182 was badly damaged by an electrical fire.

Is 3182 scrap now?

Ah from googling it seems 325 is in fake Pullman livery but is actually a Restaurant First, ex Royal Train.

Depends which 325 you are on about 325 is indeed what you state, but this is a normal part of the set but also the met-cam Pullman coach Amber which has the same 325 number although it is known by 99025 as well. This is the replacement for the coach that suffered an electrical fire. I believe this will be fixed and put back into the set once fixed.
