Hello,

that are 4 of 5 electric locos, all Tenshodo GN Y-1 type, which were refitted this week with new drive trains, DCC and lights also added. The fifth was done a week earlier as sample.

Nice! I'm glad someone else here has a nice electric fleet! Might be neat if you could find a model of the Y-1A, which was rebuilt with EMD FT cabs after a derailment. It survived long enough to be included in the sale to the PRR, but they used it as a parts source.

I wonder what it would take to properly model the DL&W's electrification. Some of the poles are similar to the PRR and Reading Company setups, but then you get poles like these in your photos. On top of the large "zizags" visible in the photo, I think the horizontal pieces are also a latice work. Might need to be photo etched.
