BEAUTIFUL Photo, Kevin -
IIRC, the "Gold" lettering was applied on top of a layer of black 'Movie Makeup' temporarily covering the "Aluminium Leaf" numbers. Many of us "wild-eyed foamers" and ne'er-do-well Curmudgeons are hopeful that both #168 and #425 will be painted with authentic-as-possible D&RG post-Edwardian Imitation Gold numbers and letters for at least the 2022 season and perhaps even a year or three longer.
