I'll play around a bit, see if I can get closer. Too much of a vertical curve at the base of the windshield for one. The hood should slope more to the sides also.Moving America into the 19th Century!

I always thought the nose looked like someone had pinched the nose of an F unit. Kinda made them look funny. That's a face only a modeler or mother could love

>It would look better in green and gold. Absofreakenlootly!The NY, NH & H was the largest user of DL109s and used them in dual service for Passengers during the day and freight at night.....If Nels or Phil Moberg see this thread they will go nutz, being fans of the "classic NH"....

That's the understatement of the year, Chuck!Frank, e-mail me directly if you have any technical questions. The diagrams for these are among the very few things in my archives I can actually get to at this point... -Phil

Hey Frank-
I'll have to send you a picture, but the milwaukee butchered these and put an F unit nose on them, and EMD-ized the long hood.
