Standard Gauge B&O E1a streamlined diesels | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Jim WatermanOGR Forum Member

Built with my own drives, and using Bob Thon's shells and sideframes, these were previously only made by him in G gauge, I think that one or two other enterprising railroaders may have converted them. Very heavy and powerful, dual German can motors, worm/timing belt drives and Dallee reversing units.

Jim,

Beautiful! You are truly talented!

If you have the parts, I'd love to see you build one in MILWAUKEE ROAD's HIAWATHA livery!

Bob - you would probably want DL109 shells, right?

Jim,

Are the Thon shells DL 109s?

Bob, they are EMD E1a diesels, not Alco DL109's, but they might look just fine with that paint.
