Hi I just moved into a new house. I want to create a train haven for my son. I am installing a freedom train rail system along ceiling and so it will diappear in to closet them reemerge (so cool) and found someone to build chair rail that looks like railroad tracks. Here is my problem: I really want to paint room making look like a Sante fe train - can’t find ANY decorating ideas on how to do it - Bought RED/ Gold/ Silver & Black - paint have NO clue where to start please help any and all ideas / web sites very welcomed!
Do you know that the Santa Fe livery you’re contemplating is commonly called the “warbonnet”? That could help you to Google it on the internet.
Here are a few photos of Santa Fe locomotives.

This would be cool to put in his room
There are several train borders if you want to be a little more subtle.
For example, I found this one at Lowe’s
but they have others, and I think I saw one with the Warbonet paint scheme.
