I was able to swap the shells between two different road names for my F40PH, from CSX to Amtrak, but... the headlights and / or ditch lights may also need to be swapped between shells, as if original board is set up for bulbs, you're new shell may have LEDs, or vice versa.
Luckily, my two shells were both from the same year, so the headlights and ditch lights were the same...
Thanks,
Mario
