Not sure why anyone would want to do that. The newer version is so much better.

A new shell is $13, and on the other side of the Atlantic, it's difficult to be sure if you are buying old or new locos- especially as the Bachmann online store seems to only sell the older ones, but does sell the new shells. I'm modelling a beat up short line with patched paint too, so gruesome motors fit right in but good detail shells are always best.

Relax everyone - you can't use the new body on the old models. Just a bit too tight as the new models have thinner chassis.

Hi all

Anyone able to tell me if the new tooling 2018 GP40 body shell can be fitted onto the older GP40 loco chassis?
The couplers would need cutting/taking off from the trucks, but I'm wondering if the shell itself can fit onto the older die cast chassis?

Thanks in advance

Donald
