Stan, I don't think the plastic used was the problem, more likely the shells 
were pulled from the mold too soon and were still "soft". I managed to get 
several A unit shells directly from the Enhornings after having an outstanding 
paid order for two F's and two GP-40's (advertised but never made, I did see 
the mold though)I was able to hand pick straight shells from their stash, but 
they had no B's left at the time. I didn't care about drive units at the time 
as I was working on a replacement anyway. I eventually used shortened AM FP-7 
drives.
   I don't think the humps were an issue on sold engines, I have seen many if 
not most of them on layouts, etc, with varying degrees of "camel roof" (one 
hump, not two!)
   I later purchased some Wabash Valley shells....all straight, but having 
dimples in the shells where the inner posts were. (this can be corrected)
