MTH DL-109 question

Proto 1 .

It was cataloged again with Proto 2 but cancelled for lack of orders.

I don't think the MR owned a #110 B unit.

Wonder if it can be converted to Proto2 using the new "ABA" upgrade kit from MTH?

Supposed to be for a set with two powered A units ....  would the slave for the A work in the B?

The slave doesn't care if it's in an A or B unit.

What you can also do is find a set of PS-2 anything DL's.  Trade shells, Truck sideframes, and pilot.  This Is what I did for my PRR Centipede.

Did MTH make any DLs with Proto2?  I heard they cancelled that production before it happened ...

My Southern set is PS-2 (20-2436-1 & -3).  I seem to recall Santa Fe version also maybe.  Search the MTH website for any/all possibilities.

The problem is there is no Milwaukee Road PS-2 sound file since the only time it was cataloged in PS-2 it was cancelled. While another road name would work the stations may not be to the area you want lol!

MTH produced the SF 109/110 set in Proto 1,  Proto 2 and soon, Proto 3 in the last catalog, 2012 volume 1

I have the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio DL-109/DL110 set, with cars, and it is Protosound 2.

The GM&O had no DL-110's (the B unit), but I couldn't resist. If I can come up with

a body shell (any road) and pilot casting, I'll turn my "110" into a "109".

For the historians: the GM&O had 3 "DL" Alcos, but two were actually DL-105's, as I 

recall, and one was a DL-109. Internal specifications were the only differences, I believe.

The MTH locos don't quite match the GM&O units at the nose, but they were too relevant

and beautiful to pass up.

The Alco DL's were totally striking, far more so than the EMD E's. And had a cooler sound.

Kerrigan,

I'm close to putting my GM&O DL109/DL110 set with PS2 up for sale. Both units are powered and in excellent condition.

If you're interested, send me an E-mail using the address in my profile anne perhaps we can make a deal happen.

Thanks!
