Any interest in undecorated EP5 shells? I have no clue if they are repros, but I have about 100 of them, came from the estate of a train store owner.

Hi Jeff,

If they are Lionel manufacture, I would certainly be interested, please call me with a price for all, Thanks

Here's one picture for tonight. I hope it produces a full picture. The number inside which I guess is a part number reads as 2350-5

Len:  I can e-mail you tomorrow night after work. For now I can say I have 100 or close to it, after I check all boxes. Boxes are 20 per case. I will have windshields for some of them, and headlight lenses.

As mentioned above the part number shown inside the shell says 2350-5

Yes, they were made by MPC in the 70's. I was a Lionel dealer then. They made blank F-3 A and B units that cost $5. Then they made FM blue shells that were about $7 or 8 . The last ones they made were your shells. They were maybe $6 each. I and many others painted them in any road you wanted. I did a ton of these in Amtrak. Don

I still have the ones I purchased. So far I haven't done anything with any of them.

Is it possible to sell 2 individually or would I have to buy a single case?

Thank You.

I may be interested in 1 or 2 if selling individually.

I have a few shells. I think I have the windshields and number boards.
What I don't have are the pantograph studs along with their mounting components or the body mounting brackets with their mounting rivets.
Anybody have a source for these parts?

The pantograph mounting rivets are available from the TRAIN TENDER...part # 2332-P-14...
