What Should I do? Keep it as is, repaint or customize it?

NoahOGR Forum Member

Looking for suggestions. My eBay Lioncheif Peanuts Halloween Loco and tender came yesterday. I was surprised of the detail with the Engineer and Fireman figures in the Cab. I would of thought might have been Snoopy and or Charlie Brown in the cab. Should I "KitBash" it? Strip the Peanuts logo and paint and weather it to male it look realistic? The Sounds that come from the tender are Halloween sounds, so I would just turn it off and use the smoking and chug features until Halloween. Should I leave it alone and create my own Halloween train?

Any kids in the house? If so, I'd leave it for now ... but if not, I'd probably repaint it. I like the orange stripe down the middle though. Plenty of railroads with a black/orange paint scheme.

My Kids have Adult Kids. So Only Grand Nieces and Nephews that make very rare visits.. Orange stripe is good Even the little Snoopy in lower front is O.K. I do not care for the looks of the tender but from what I know the tender is just holding a speaker as I swapped tenders with my Albert Hall Lionchief and nothing changes. So I could Pick up another tender for another line possibly with matching colors and use it for double duty.

Keep it as is and make yourself a Halloween train. You may find yourself looking forward to October.
