    Did they have their "own" paint scheme or just CP?

    I don't think so. They were always a CP subsidiary.

    "They were..." Past tense? Does this mean the company has been absorbed into another? Such as CP? Or are they still operating?

    I'm not sure if it was an independent company to begin with.

    OK. That answers my question. Apparently it was a "paper" entity, more than anything else.

    ...and hence the D&H connection also.

    I thought D&H merged with MEC and B&M into Guilford?

    D&H did become part of Guilford sometime in the 80's, but then Guilford was forced to divest itself of the D&H almost immediately. I don't remember why at the moment, but I'm sure other members can fill in those blanks.

CP basically bought the right-of-away from Guildford.

    I notice the red is darker than the CP action red. Is it the same as the new CP colour?
