Just wondering if you have ever repainted or maybe bought something that was repainted or even kit bashed,only later to find out it might be scarce or even worse rare ?
I've seen trains like this in junk pile lots for sale at train meets and thought,"but what was they thinking ? ".
I have a set of Lionel 2343's that was like brand new when my dad traded for them back in the mid 70's that he repainted into C&O livery .They turned out so-so,but years later he regretted it.
So do you have any stories to share on something you have or maybe have seen ?
