Here's an interesting train set:
The listing says the loco box is dated 1930. I had that loco with and without the stripe. I think the stripe version is more common. The observation is common. Check out the factory error baggage with end doors. You see those in orange, but not often in other colors.

This 1930 Bailey Special Set looks to be assembled from obsolete inventory. They probably painted the locos up to match the cars. I think they did the same with the 253 in dark green with orange windows/cast headlight to get rid of dark green 610 cars.
