warped 2350 new haven shell-ruined night!

[northernpike]

I had my 2350 new haven shell warp-too close to the fireplace.  Anyone know where I can get a replacement shell-it is the decal nose version-most common-

Thanks much

Finding just the shell for a PW EP-5 is really a tough search. Sure don't see just the shell unless it is in pristine condition and the seller wants an arm & leg for it. Probably at the giant train meets like York would be your best chance. Good Luck in your search.

Thanks for the info.  I will have to keep looking.  It happened while I was at work.

Had shell off doing some motor cleaning.  It was on a shelf that should have been safe and one that I used constantly when I do maintenance.

One of my daughters friends picked up the shell to look at it and set it on the floor, unfortunately near

the gas fireplace heat register!!  By the time I found it last night, the damage was done.

Anyone else have any stories of "accidents"?

I have had a couple locos take the 4 foot plunge to the concrete floor, not a pretty sight.
