Swapping Body shells on steam and diesel models

[Trainman203]

I'm not certain if the new 2-8-2 tender shell with backup light isn't a drop in replacement for the 2-8-0.

Thanks, Trainman.

I thought it might be a simple swap but not sure if it would fit.

It should be a easy job to add a backup light in the 2-8-0 tender.

Yes Ram it should be an easy job if that's a skill a person has.

Have you done this already and could maybe share a photo of your installation?

Thanks,

Barry
