The latter day Crosscountry loco-hauled sets were indeed slam door mark 2 stock (though CDL fitted as noted above, of course).

That does sound vaguely familiar now you mention it, actually.

There is of course a Pendolino currently named 'Lady Godiva', though without the accompanying vinyls.

I'm not sure about multiple times, but that name was intended to be applied to 47712 as part of the Waterman Railways fleet in March 1997.

That's correct, lamp irons for the Vitrains 37.

Actually, found the relevant photos from a post on Twitter/X - 56004/8, 020/2 in July 1992:

I can identify 56004, 008, 010, 020, 022 and 026 as still wearing BR Blue at the start of 1993. Of those, 56020 and 026 were out of use by that time. All except 56022 were still blue two years later, and by the start of 1998, 56004 (active) and 56008 (stored) were the last two remaining. I feel like I've seen said photo in one of my magazine back copies quite recently, but I haven't yet been able to track it down again. I'll share it here if I do come across it.

Indeed, introduced in early 1995 following the move to BR Train Operating Units and the return of Chris Green to Scotrail. 101695 retained the yellow cab front up to the roofline and the Strathclyde Transport map logo until at least 2001 when it was employed in the North West, and probably until withdrawal in late 2003. The livery as generally depicted is therefore appropriate for the period 1995 - 2003, although it lost the small swooshes on the cab front when it left Scotland and also had the overhead electrification warning flashes updated.

Good point there, I have seen a photo showing such during the livery transition period.

And indeed have done so each year, since the afternoon service was introduced requiring a second rake.

The 89 is TDM fitted, same as classes 90 and 91 (plus 87s and 86/2s), so will presumably be able to work push-pull with LSL's Mark 3 and DVT rake - LSL do not operate a mark 4 set. In GNER days it operated in push-pull mode with mark 4 sets, but as noted above during its initial period of BR operation it often operated conventionally with a more varied range of stock on the likes of the Peterborough commuter turn.

The Jacobite rakes have always been formed of mark 1 (or mark 2) opens, barring the brake vehicle which does offer a small quantity of bookable compartment accommodation, so I don't think compartments would need be fitted to much of any speculative replacement stock either.

Though as I understand it, Hornby have only released newly tooled GNER mark 4s in the red door, post-Mallard refurb livery, which the class 89 never worked with. Some repainting would be required. I don't think it would be possible to assemble a complete, correctly liveried, rake from the original tooled mark 4s, as Hornby never produced the TOE vehicle adjacent to the class 91 with that tooling, for example.

Back in December 1991, RAIL 163 carried a suggested contemporary plan for Salisbury station in 4mm scale that, with a good deal of compression and compromise, worked out extremely similar to your suggestions above. The plan wasn't to scale, but the text stated that it was intended to fit in a space 15' x 9', with maximum train lengths of Loco+6 coaches for Waterloo - Exeter services.

Thanks for clarifying that.
