The History:

Ranked as possibly one of the most exotic diesel locomotives ever, the DL-109 was powered by two 1000 horsepower, six cylinder Model 539 diesel engines. This locomotive was introduced as Alco’s first streamlined cab locomotive and was designed by the noted industrial designer Otto Kuhler.

Seven American railroads received 74 cab units and 4 boosters from 1940 to 1945. The roads included: New Haven (60 units), Southern (3 a-units & 3 b-units), Rock Island (4 units), Gulf, Mobile & Ohio (3 units), Milwaukee Road (2 units), Santa Fe (1a-unit & 1b-unit), and Chicago & North Western (1 unit).

During WWII, the War Production Board placed heavy restrictions on Alco passenger locomotive production. However, New Haven was granted an exemption by the Board to acquire 60 units for around the clock duty. The streamlined DL-109 workhorses pulled passenger trains by day and freight trains by night. By the end of WWII, Alco had retired the DL-109 in favor of its new passenger locomotive, the PA. Setting the standard for future locomotives, the DL-109 was a hallmark in the production of early passenger diesels, and its unique styling has earned it a place in the hearts of many railfans.

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore.
You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
