True, but I left out the details I was trying to suggest, so I wasn't clear enough. My bad.
I am sure I have the match ups wrong a bit, but they were offered in groups, IIRC.
It might have been green 5 Stripe along with tuscan single, and the penn central black one in the first run. Then maybe the green single stripe, tuscan 5 stripe and silver one in the second run. Something like that. (and/or the later groups may have been less than 3 or even a single one offered in one of the catalogs)
Again, I probably have the match ups wrong (not digging up the catalogs just to check). but the point being if there was a year in between run 1 and run 2, none of the trucks made for the first run likely were still sitting around the factory a year later for use on run 2. So that is why I suggest there might be something to the color tracking the defect. But I would agree it's likely that any different deco schemes from the same run (delivered nearly the same time) would likely be in the same boat regarding the chances of having the problem.
