Hi grumpy, I remember using a Qualcast at Grandma's house when I was a kid...that was in the 50's and it looked in the condition just like it was in Al,s first pic....
I doubt if anyone could remember the original paint scheme and all photos from the period were black and white...though I do know that they were painted...I did see one that had some of the original paint on it at an exhibit at the Henty Field Days some years ago...
