       Bent Cab roof on 675

       Hello. Is it possible to bend the metal back in to place on the
       cab of my loco? I just purchased it and would like to refurbish
       it. Thanks for any impact. Jumbo.

       I'm sorry I should have proof read this post. I am using a cell
       phone and it spell checked for me. The cab roof is bent. Must
       have been dropped. Thank you for any input.

       Hard impacts may bend them without cracking, but straightening
       them is almost impossible. I have heard that if you heat the
       affected area, you may be able to gently bend the affected area
       back into place.
       The boiler (with the cab) is a casting, and as such cannot be
       bent cold without cracking.
