0967's Maiden Voyage (Proto 2000 S-1 converted to New Haven RR DEY-3)

This is a Proto 2000 Alco S-1 which I converted to a New Haven Railroad DEY-3, complete with low-profile cab, air whistle, and other prototype-specific details - as well as a Loksound v5 decoder, Power Pack, and Scale Sound Systems speaker. For the complete build, see my blog at blog.thevalleylocal.net

Hi Chris, thanks for posting. Great looking model, slow speed operation is spot on, I always liked NH’s Pullman green paint. Long live Alco’s!🙂

Looks, runs, and sounds great. Love that air whistle!

[@TheValleyLocal]

Thanks! Yeah that whistle is pretty distinctive, in looks as well as sound! I’m just glad ESU finally got a PROPER Hancock whistle sound to replace that ear-assaulting version they had on their v4decoders 😬
