Does any one know where to get SD50 Shells that I can Put on a P2K Frame.

You might be able to find an old Proto Power West shell. Otherwise, Athearn may offer their shell (which is probably the PPW shell) for sell by itself, although I do not know if Athearn sells parts for RTR cars/locomotives.

Come to think of it, I don't remember if PPW made a SD50 shell.

Rail Power products made a SD60 Shell, If you can live with the difference, The new Athearn SD50 is all new tooling, not a re-release of the RPP Shell, and they did do a great job on it.

Yes I have 2 of the new Athearn RTR I like them! I have found Rail Pwoer SD60shells, but no pictures, are there any huge differences between SD50 - SD60?

What's wrong with P2K's SD-50 shell?

It was a sad day on the Potomic Pass. C&O SD50 8562 was assigned to the "rock train", on its way to drop off empties at Aughwick Valley Aggregate. A figure left by an unamed person [:I] [:-^] was laying between the gauges, caused a derail and unit 8562 fell about 48" to the floor..............................[V][:(][*^_^*]

This is why I need a new shell

Have you tried contacting life-like to see if they'll sell you parts?
