SLO32, I would call Mr. Muffins Trains and tell Steve or Jeff about the engine. They did have two engines still available. The boiler front should be available as parts arrive from China, but leave that for Mr. Muffins to handle. See if they have another engine to swap.
As some on OGR may remember, my new limited edition Nickle Plate GP35 #910 from Mr. Muffins arrived with paint missing on the front lift bar brackets and two colors of yellow on the end lift bars. I am waiting for Aaron at Lionel parts to get a replacement front step assembly when parts finally arrive from China. There are no guarantees that Aaron will find the parts in the correct paint. Wish me luck.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely, John Rowlen
