Reshaping Lima Plastic

Ive got an old 040 continental style shunter by lima (the little blue one) and it has a slightly distorted bodyshell, Is it possible to re shape it or take the sitortion out of it? it doesnt affect the running or overall shape its just like it has been too close to heat in one place

I Love the Hornby 0-4-0s but unfortunately Hornby fitted too fast a motor for them and the chassis was identical on hem, I decided to see what I could do with a Barclay 06 shunter so here is some pictures of mine. Unfortunately due to the motor I cannot do anything about the toolboxes on the side

Mainlinefreighter58 replied to Mainlinefreighter58's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
that makes sense thats what i was thinking -
struggling to find someone that makes an etched brass antenna for the Class 47 (the examples im modelling all had them) now i know they had a distinctive V shape base but i cant find one available, now there was a product listed on shawplan but without an image im clueless as to if its right, does anyone else do one or is it simple to fabricate from plasticard ? TIA
