Roger,
The attached photos are of my Baldwin CNW #5000A DRS6-2-1000 built using left over parts from 2 AHM E8/9s that I had from building a E8 "B" unit several years ago. A friend of mine had seen the body laying in a "future projects to complete" box and said if I would finish the body he would build the power chassis. I used the drawings from the CNWHS magazine of several years ago, and he use a P2K PA chassis that he extended to fit. 
We had a lot fun building this engine as it was a one of a kind from Baldwin. It will pull a ton of cars.
If you can use in this section of the NMRA site, Thanks.
