E-bay if flooded with old analog BR 89's after looking a manual they have metal body's is it a case of undoing the screw on Steam dome and changing them over ? hess

I've seen only plastic ones, in fact the very first version that I have that was made around 1950 has a plastic body. You have to remember that the Br89 is an entry level model, so is built to a price, hence the plastic body.

Of you want a small steam loco withal metal body, you should sell the 30000 BR89 and replace it with a BR80, they have good detail and are well built.
