The first ALCO PA-1s on the New Haven were designated DER-3a (diesel-electric road) and went into service in 1948. The initial livery was orange and green with narrow silver stripes. It was quickly replaced by a return to the traditional green and gold scheme and then the McGinnis scheme in 1955. These engines had 2,000 horsepower.

The New Haven never had this paint scheme on an F-3 diesel, nor did it ever have any F-3 diesels. The paint scheme and "New Haven" model were a concoction by (I believe) Lionel. The only F-series diesels the New Haven ever had were the dual-mode FL-9s which could run as a diesel-electric or as a straight electric from the 600-volt DC third-rail power between Woodlawn, NY (New York Central milepost 12) and Grand Central Terminal. They had a two-axle lead truck and a three-axle trailing truck (see below). Sunset/3rd Rail produced this model a few years ago.
