Curious what everyone thinks? I am able to sell these shells for around 10 bucks. Not sure if people would use them to put on a flat car or as decoration on the layout. Should I stock it? I know it's random and not for everyone but it is a nice shell.

Would be a nice special at York this fall.
Good idea, Ken, as they they just snap on a powered chassis. There’s another thread on here from just a few days ago about those little critters. Some guys may want to mix and match!
I'd take a shell for a spare. Two plastic pins hold the shell on. About a 30 second swap.
Ken You could put them up on Simulated cement blocks. I know I would buy the Rio Grande
and Air Force versions. UnclePeteRR ps Any more Williams Chuggingtons?
Hey Ken- do you have these in stock now? Do you have other lines as well?
Ken, I've got three Beeps and was looking to convert one to USAF but didn't want to do a whole repaint. Looking for replacement blue shells so that I could remove the lettering and decale it for USAF I was disappointed by the options and cost available. I believe there is enough interest in switching, customizing and even kit bashing these Beep shells that you wouldn't regret stocking them @ $10 each.

Thanks I'll put them in stock and give them a shot! Other Roadnames are Chessie RI And D&RGW
I only had 1 of each but will have more in stock tomorrow. You can order the 2 I took pictures on here. It might be a day or two behind on shipping but I should have more by tomorrow.

Sounds good Ken. I will stop by Friday with cash in hand! 👍
Ahh just to clarify sorry. TW should have them by tomorrow afternoon. The other road names still need to travel from bk to li. Maybe Monday? Have to take pictures too!
Hi KenjrTW:
Are you able to source the bare chassis/motors that are listed on the RMT website as well? I would like to purchase one to fit under one of my spare RMT shells (NYC).
I don't seem to be able to complete the transaction on their web store, as I live in Australia and they don't have my country (Australia) listed in their drop-down shipping box.
Can you help???

Ill try contacting Walter RMT to see if it’s possible? I’d like to know myself!
Thanks Ken.......I'll keep my fingers crossed. Please let me know what you find out,
Peter......Buco Australia

Peter,
Spoke to walter and no good on the parts you are looking for sorry
The dead engines on my railroad become park display engines. I remove all internals except the lighting.
