Set 75, a Low elliptical roofed set and Set 76, a High elliptical roofed set were chosen to form a new express service to Mount Victoria. Commencing the Caves Express service in 1929, Set 75 was originally finished in blue and russet paintwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000080; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;\"\u003eHowever, by 1932 the russet window portion had been repainted into Deep Cream. Whilst Set 75 was superceded by a newer carriage type in 1933, it retained the blue and cream exterior paintwork until around 1939. A sixth independent car, FA 1423 was also painted into the Caves Express colours however by 1939 it was repainted and returned to Set 56.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000080; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;\"\u003eAfter Set 75 was displaced from the Mt Victoria service it was used on the evening Lithgow service until the early 1940s.
