The problem with the roof hump as I understand it was not only related to the
cooling but also the type of plastic that Enhorning used. It was a rubbery
flexible material that was different than styrene and gluing anything to it was
a challenge. In the 1970's I purchased about a dozen or so shells from Claude
Wade along with a bunch of mechanisms that he created to convert them to scale.
At one time he considered offering an F-unit re-powering kit for the Enhorning
shells. His drives featured custom made gear boxes, and 42" diameter brass
wheel sets. When the Enhorning shells were no longer available, he dropped the
idea of re-powering kits and focused on improving his SSL&S line of steamers.
In the dozen or so shells that I ended with, a few of them did not have the
roof hump. I ended up with 3 or 4 serviceable units that I painted and ran
quite well with the Wade drives. I have some photos around somewhere, and will
post them when I find them.
