Rick,

 

Do you get this engine fixed?

 

1. You should check with Lionel to see if the new GP35 shell will fit on this engine. The new Conrail GP35 shells are missing the logo so Lionel is going to replace them for customers. This should make a few GP35 shells available.

 

2. If you are not going to fix the engine,  let me know if you would like to sell it. I have a project I could use this engine for ( instead a potentially destroying a perfectly good engine). My e-mail address is in my profile.

 

Regards,

 

Calvin

Rick, Talk about fallen flags! Another possible solution would be to see if they have an available GP-30 shell for a repaint job.

Thanks for the info and suggestions.  At this time the engine is running ok, no smoke but otherwise ok, some of the details, railing and such is missing but the important thing, it is running

Find foam mats to pad the floor, so the damages will not happen again.

Ricklab, I just checked my parts inventory and it appears we have 2 locos in the boneyard and 2 shells in the boneyard too. I would imagine an arrangement could be made to sell one of those shells, although I would be more confident laying my eyes on them first to see their condition and determine if they have any significant deco flaws before committing to something we could not deliver on. I have been in MI since Thursday last week and will not be back in the office until Wednesday. If you'd like I could check the condition of those shells? Thanks, Mike Lionel
