Atlas U23 B changing bodyshell

[CHOOCHOOBEEPBEEP]

Picked this up cheap of a buddy
loco is horrible { hand painted } lets just say its not my cup of Tea . it is so ugly , The Tide would not take it out
i am not going to go to the bother of stripping down the shell and doing a re-paint
so i am wondering , what fill fit on the Chassis

what other shell could i put on there ? anybody any ideas ?
as the motor is good and it runs fine , so its worth trying to do something with it .
would a GP 7 shell fit ?
if anybody has any ideas please let me know
Thanks

Chuck

Well ... Don't know about the Tide , but I have taken out some 2-baggers in my life!
Other than the handrails - what's wrong that it cannot be striped and repainted?
Your photo must be hiding something?
NO, I do not have a suggestion, at all.

Good Sir . are you suggesting i am being a bit Slim Shady on the loco pic
its a disaster
i have not got the patience or the time as im at the Alcos
gotta love them Alcos
i may repaint at a later stage , but if another shell comes along , i will go that route , less stress less fumes etc etc
yes the 2-baggers , i was also that soldier in my day
we were warned growing up to beware of the 3 Rings , as they come in the following order .
First Comes , The Engagement Ring
Then Comes , The Wedding Ring
Followed by , The Suffering

More Folgers , Oh Wait im back in Ireland No Folgers here
Thats is my problem
