Looking for pictures or drawings of the different and/or modified roofs of the NH DL109s. Somebody out there must model the transition-era NH!??!?!?!?!

I thought just a google search turned up quite a bit between the proto pics, HO brass models, and HO kit bashes.   For the number of DL109s the NH had, I'm surprised I've never seen this done before.

Just came up on the New Haven historical society forum. These guys make the crustyness at TRW look like baby chicks playing in the farmyard. Bring your thick skin. But if you can deal with it, there is a lot of info to be had from the folks there.

I model a distinctly earlier period of New Haven. The roaring twenties is what I am shooting for.
