Only markings were white paint on the plastic shell. The shell itself is a burgundy plastic. And that burgundy color happens to be almost a perfect match for the Lionel Polar Express burgundy color so all I needed to do was remove the white lettering.
The deck that the workmen stands on I painted and for the blue color I used a Tamaya spray can that was recommended as a good color match for the blue.
I am replacing the Workman figure on the deck with a Santa Claus and I have changed the sign that spins on each bump to a directional arrow for the North Pole. Will run in the center of my small Polar Express layout. When I’m finally done I’ll post a pic to this thread.
Sounds like a terrific project.
