Beautiful locomotive. I've always admired the DL-109. They appeared on loan to 
the Bangor and Aroostook during the busy season.

All --

Not totally a 2010 project: My New Haven Alco DL-109. I built it three years 
ago, painted it two years ago, and finally decalled it last September. A photo 
of it appears as No. 27 in group photo folder "Dick Karnes' Layout." Click the 
following link to see it:

The chassis is an Omnicon product intended to fit the AF Alco PA shell, but 
lengthened to fit the DL-109. Couplers are installed in BTS brass coupler 
pockets designed for EMD diesels. No changes were made to the American Hirail 
superstructure. Windshield wipers were included with the Omnicon chassis. The 
American Hirail underbody tanks were altered to allow the Omnicon gearbox to 
fit. Decals were a project of the Connecticut S Gaugers, spearheaded by Steve 
Kutash.
