Andre: Years ago (1981 !!), Bob Nicholson and I were photographing some CR RS-3m's in Syracuse, NY. When you got up close, you could see the outline of the NYC "Lightning Stripes". The railroad had just painted black over everything and slapped on a "CR". Somewhere I have a couple slides of that day that are clear enough to see the stripe separation lines in the paint. Maybe Nicholson does too - he's better organized then I am! Sooooo, while I too prefer a clean surface; there is a prototype for everything!
My guess is you have seen this too in 12" to the foot gauge. BTW, I've also seen this phenomenon of late while boarding some aircraft!!
