Are you saying, by the way, that the two isolated operations are actually two separate ISLs? Interesting. Whether to repaint would be a question of how seriously you take railfanning your layout, among other things. If the SCR has one paint scheme, it might be interesting to have a unit that isn't in it and is ragtag. This also raises questions like whether you might want to have dead units -- something you used to run that now doesn't, or some basket case from a swap -- waiting in the wings like SMS for restoration, also ragtag. It would certainly build a history for your layout and make photos you post very interesting, too.
