Lionel 2037 painting question
Posted by GG1 guy

I have a Lionel 2037 2-6-4 that runs great but looks rough. As this is not a particularly valuable locomotive, I am not concerned with maintaining "originality". It came with a 6026W whistle tender that looked equally rough, but I was able to buy a reproduction tender shell for it, so it looks brand new. I want to paint it the locomotive shell to look as good as the tender. I already have a new bell, headlight lens, marker lenses, etc, so once it's painted it will look brand new. Any suggestions what type or brand of paint to use? I am proficient with an airbrush, but would be fine with a spray can if the color's right. Don't care if it's an exact match to the original finish-just want it to look good.
I see no clear reason why I should grow up...
