Lionel 221 Shell replacement
Posted by PhilaKnight on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 5:16 PM

I purchased a Lionel 221 Dreyfuss Hudson off of Ebay. It came with another shell because someone ground the corners of the cab off. I noticed that the side rods are riveted to the shell. Is it even worth the trouble of pulling the rivite off and putting the new shell on or do they make repro rivets to put the siderods back in place? The is nothing wrong with the engine otherwise.
