It really depends on the person's taste. Over the years I have met/known people who love the idea of fantasy paint schemes, and those who just plain hate them. Personally, I am in the middle. On one hand, I want to stick to the roots and have locomotives that are made just the way they once were. On the other hand, I like the huge opportunity given by having what-if paint schemes, or an all-time favorite on a locomotive that never had it. For example, I reviewed a Lionel GS-2 in the Lark paint scheme and currently a Cab Forward with the daylight paint scheme. Both were real paint schemes but never on those locomotives. In the end, it is up to YOU on what you want. Everybody's money is the same color so don't let anybody tell you otherwise on what to do.
