Thanks! I knew about the DL109's and had a strong suspicion that NH never had any PB units, just wanted confirmation that they actually didn't (gotta admit they look nice, though! [;)] ). I know USA trains makes the PA's in 2 different road numbers as well, if I dedide to get a pair of them. Now if they only made the NH "American Flyer" style coaches in 1:29 as well to go with the PA's...[:P]

New Haven had 60 DL109's (0700-0759) and 27 PA1's (0760-0786), no B-units for either model. NH used them as dual-service locomotives.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

New Haven Alco PA's
Posted by wa1lbk on Friday, February 4, 2005 8:11 PM
A question for New Haven buffs - I'm thinking of getting some USA Trains Alco PA's in New Haven colors for my under - construction garden railroad later this year. My question is: did New Haven have any PB units? (USA Trains does sell them). To my knowledge, New Haven only had the PA's & no PB's, but I'd like confirmation of this. (I'll most likely wind up getting either a single PA or an A-A set). Also wonder if anyone knows what the minimum radius is of the USA Trains PA's. Thanks! Tom
