Yes, Taylor,

I scraped and repainted the 71 and the 20 back into their C&S livery back in 1970.

They had been repainted using "Burlington Route" scotchlite decals and dulux gold paint.

There were a lot of layers of paint. I repainted them as they looked when put on display, except for the striping that I discovered and repainted on the 20, that dated back to when the 20 was numbered 121. I thought that the stripes added some class.
