Weird dream, and real-life question

I had a weird dream the other night. I saw a Durango & Silverton K-28 (473, I think, might have been 478). But it somebody had put elephant ear smoke deflectors on it (for Halloween - it was dressed up as UP 844). This gave it a weird, almost hunched-over appearance. To top it all, there was graffiti on the elephant ears, as if (pseudo-)844 had been hit by a tagger.
Now the real-life question. Does anybody dress up engines for Halloween? Are engines dressed up as other engines, ever? (OK, I guess "ever is a bit too strong. There's Thomas, for one thing. And UP 3985 was dressed up as a Clinchfield engine once. And then there's all the movie stuff. But I'm thinking more like just for fun, as a spoof.)
