@jini5 posted:Looking at that photo......Seems to me that if Lionel does not have nose replacements and they want to refund your money, but you really want to keep the set..........Could you epoxy a 1/4" round earth magnet to the front of the loco (this would be hidden with nose in place), then epoxy a metal washer inside the nose cone that would react with the magnet and hold the cone in place? Just a thought......I totally get you should not have to do that and Lionel should just send replacements instead of wanting the whole set back. Those are beautiful. That heavy metal flake silver is gorgeous. Just an observation about a possible repair.
If by some crazy chance Lionel cannot fix the front nose covers I will be requesting them to be sent back. Then the choice becomes trying Greg's solution (see prior post), looking into your solution, and finally just lightly gluing the covers on period.
