Does anybody know whether any locos still carried the 'Red Stripe Railfreight' livery into the start of the privatisation era?

I know that freight was split between Mainline, Loadhaul, Transail and painted accordingly. Also grey sectorisation liverys were still around.

So when EWS took over all these 'seperate' comapnies, it had a real mixture of liveries...but was there any red stripe railfreight amongst them?

Great....finally found my answer. To quote the following from WNXX.com website

"A one time celebrity locomotive having evaded works attention since the late 1980s 56019 which retained the much lamented Red Stripe Railfreight livery was eventually put to store at Immingham from the WGAN pool in March 1999 when the Class 66 invasion was gathering momentum. 56019, RIP."
