Wait what? LOL  a Trump train, thats kinda weird. But yes it should all be gold painted. Trump likes everything in gold,  as seen in his New York apartment.

Personally I hate anything in gold color, its ugly. Unless of course I have some gold bars, then it would be ok.

MTH is also making a Trump train in O gauge, how about one in HO.

Prototypically it ought to be painted gold.

BLI has Kennedy and Reagan covered. Maybe #45 will be soon?

Theme-based trains (Christmas, sports teams, etc.) have zero appeal to me  - whatever the scale.  But I get it that others do enjoy them and that's fine. 

Our "Christmas" train is comprised of actual prototype locomotives & rolling stock from favorite states or regions my wife and I have either visited, lived in, or vacationed at.  It's a lotta fun to watch them circle the tree and reminisce about the times we had in each of those locations.

I had the first few Micro-Trains releases of N sclae holiday cars.

I kept it up for a few years after switching to HO, then lost interest.

That would probably be almost a thirty car train now. I think 1991 was the first year.

Looks like MTH will have some Christmas cars coming this year. One is a gondola with two Christmas trees with leds. If they continue what they did in O GAUGE it will be painted in three different gondola colors

, red,green, white. They have done these in other scales with one or two different cars per year. 

They will make up a nice Christmas train to run on your layout or

a Christmas garden.
