Does anyone know of a source for replacement body shells for the old lionel f3 a and b units?  I would like to convert my southern aba set to c&nw but dont want to mess up the original bodys as they are pretty nice. Any Ideas?  I have looked at the new legacy equipped c&nw lionel set but I cant see paying that much as I still run conventional control.  I know they will work but it seems like alot of money.

Thanks

Matt

I was on Ebay last night and saw a Texas Special 2245 B unit, shell only.  Don't recall any pricing information.

 

I was looking for some shells several months ago and posted in the WTB forum here.  Had a prompt response and bought two previously repainted A shells for a project.

 

I also bought a Texas Special A unit shell and complete B unit that a member posted in the For Sale section for another repaint project.

 

So, I've had good luck here on the forum.

 

I'll follow this thread and hope to see someone post who has a line on good PW repro unpainted shells.

 

Good idea to keep your SRR shells; I have my childhood 2356 AA's w/OB's and carton; and, wouldn't consider using them as donor shells.
