My company did it once, but the philosophy changed later...
I think now: there are Lego sets and if it is a design by TLC, then I will have
it in the way it was meant. Even if it is an "ugly" design (as sets 7720
engine), it is not my job to improve it.
If I want better trains, I build MOCs (mainly after existing real life
prototypes) while I see no sense in design improvements any more.
But this point of view has of course to do with the size of your collection. If
you have only 2 trains a design change might be the best idea. If you have 50++
train sets, there is enough to have both the sets of TLC and your own designs.
(Why would one also have a mixture of both?)
Leg Godt!
