So, as you know these break in shipping.
I have an RA from Lionel but have asked for just the nose cones. I suspect they don't have any. But await my answer. It has been more than a week. I guess they are hoping we all go away.
They want the engines shipped to them. I think they will just get broken again in shipping. Steve at Muffins told me just to return them to Lionel, but....they cannot even tell me if they have engines to send me. So, if I send them, and they don't have replacements, I guess a refund...who knows.
As you can see the two pieces are broken off that hold the covers on. I pulled them with tweezers and carefully super glued them back on. Let them dry all night and replaced them. One cover took three tries. But they are on firm for now. I have no plans to remove them, they will probably break. My plan is to await the day when I can simply order two new covers. The old ones were just $6.00. Hopefully, they produce hundreds of extras!

Greg,
I like your solution and, like many others have said, I have no intention of ever removing those covers. I too would have just liked the nose cones shipped but they wanted the engines....
