Your repair looks better than the original lip. A bit wider is good proportion. I’ve used the repair piece available on e bay for a couple bucks but this looks even better. Also been using some of the broken chin Alco’s and saw off entire front apron and use them on 2023, 2033, etc that has metal apron as part of the frame. Just need to a fix the two end metal securing bracket to secure to frame. But if you don’t the shells seem to stay in place but be aware when handling engine so you don’t drop anything picking it up. Nice informative video.

Thanks Gene. I was thinking about using those repair pieces but with shipping, it would have been almost what I paid for the shell. Have a great week! Bob

Supurb..it look better than new. Now you need a motorized chassis.

It looks fantastic! You could fool me into thinking it always looked like that. I recently got that same shell for $6. I will likely do similar repairs. Thanks for the paint recommendation too, I'll keep an eye out. Have a good one

Thanks Wayne. I have a couple of powered bases but they all have an operating front coupler and that little “thumb tack” looking part gets in the way. Maybe I’ll just hack it off with a Dremel tool. I hope you have a great week! Bob

@@bobsworkshop5181 Hack it off? That's what I'd do. Realistically how often would you use the front coupler on a lead unit? Not too often I'd imagine. If it restores that shell to operation it's worth doing, in my opinion anyway, you can always plate over the gap in the pilot.

Hi James. I think I used 400 grit to blend in the roof paint and either 220 or 400 to smooth the putty on the chin repair. I think places like Home Depot or Menards sell 3m wet/dry sand paper in variety packs.

Of course Santa Fe's pilots were silver--and were repainted after every run.
