I'm new to this, and I'm not sure if what I'm going after here is workable, thought maybe somebody could give me some input. Is it at all possible to repaint existing locomotives and rolling stock (mainly run of the mill santa fe stuff) to your own or does this generally end badly?
Here's a link to the paint scheme of the Monongahela Railway that I'm going for. I've seen almost NONE of these on ebay and figure I might have to improvise. I know real-life railroads paint over things all the time, I'm just wondering if this is something that can be done on HO scale and come out looking at least half decent, and also which kinds of paint work best. Thanks!
