@MartyE posted:Well I was getting ready to pull my scale Polar set out for the year and then when I got to the RPO car remembered that it's still incorrect. I keep on picking this scab. Anyone hear any updates about a new shell. I'll email Lionel again but thought before I do see if anyone has beat me to it.
I guess it will be delegated to the Island of Misfit Toys. A real shame too as it would have looked great with the consist. As Clarice sang "there's always tomorrow", or next year.
I have been waiting. In the absence of a Lionel remedy I think it can be somewhat corrected. Tamiya makes a synthetic laquer in a clear dull coat. I have used it in modeling for many models. It should work very well at killing the brilliance in the blue which makes it stand out like "spats at an Iowa picnic". A little rubbing will bring on a little dull matte look to match the textrure of the other cars. If they don't move on the replacement shells, then I will try it. I will post if it gets to that.
