Several years ago I bought a Lionel NW2 switcher, marked DT&I and an orange shell. ran good but thought the shell was ugly. Took it off and got rid of it. Now I can't remember the number or year of mfr. Anyone know? I lost my Lionel books when I moved. Thanks

8111 DT&I switcher.
Thanks. trying to figure out what to do with the frame & motor. Thought about a street car or interurban.
Got this engine in a set new for Christmas, guessing 1973, MPC era. If it runs good consider yourself lucky. The plastic gears on mine are stripped and it sits waiting for a resurrection someday. Right now that conversion is about #90 or 91 on my list of projects. 
I bought mine at an antique store that has trains so don't know the history but looked in good shape. No, if the gears went bad I would scrap it for some parts.
