The excess material left where the power reverse was removed could be cut away in a profile following what would be the lower part of the boiler, but chances are it will only reveal parts of the model's drive train - the front of the motor or the side of the gearbox. As Russ notes, many real locos had a lot of "daylight" between the boiler and the running gear, an often difficult situation to reproduce with our models.
