Reply to "Question: Should I repaint this Lionel 252?"

Just a update on my 252 repaint.

I have decided to repaint the shell as I have two others 252 in green that have original paint and are original and waiting to be assembled.

The repaint on this shell, will be in Lionel colors orange and blue.
The frame has been painted and awaiting the couplers to be put back on.
Note that the frame is black with orange cow catchers.
The motors wheels will be repainted as orange.

The shell will basically be painted orange with a blue roof, blue lower stipe on the bottom of the frame, the doors on each end of the engine will be blue and the last thing to be blue will be the side covers above the grills.

I also found a easy way to mask the flag stanchion, if anyone is interested in this just ask.

I will be posting the completed frame assembly with motor and reversing switch when I am done.
