Hello Nova Scotian,
I have just looked through a selection of books and found 10 pictures of auto trains taken between 1952 and 1964. The breakdown was as follows: 1952....2 x Blood/custard, 1953.....1 x Red, 1954......3 x Red, 1955.....1 x Red, 1957.....1 x Red, 1958....1 x Red, 1964......1 x Red.
I couldn't tell if the ones pictured were ex-GWR or B.R. built examples but it would appear that any auto trains that ran in blood/custard livery only did so during the early 1950's.
