Yes, I have a 6468 B&O Automobile boxcar which someone altered by painting the roof and ends white. Curiously, they missed one panel near the end on the roof. My mother bought it used as a Christmas gift when I was 9-10 from a disreputable local Lionel dealer/service station.

How does choosing to paint a model a different color and then sell it make the dealer "...disreputable...?" Sorry, that makes no sense.

Once you own a model train, you can paint it pink, green and yellow with red and white zebra stripes if you want...it's YOURS. You can also then choose to sell it if you wish. There's nothing "disreputable" about that.

It's a TOY, not some sacred artifact that is never to be defaced.
