New Paint Schemes & Road Numbers!

In the late 1940s, the design team at
Fairbanks-Morse (FM) set out to develop an 8-cylinder
1,500-horsepower all-purpose road switcher using their
opposed-piston diesel engine design. By September 1947 FM had
produced the first H15-44 locomotive in the form of Demonstrator
?FM 1500?. The hood-unit style body included distinctive features
such as slightly sloped ends, rounded corners, oval cab-side
windows and a raised, rounded headlight base on each end.
The first purchaser of the H15-44 was Monon, who quickly bought
both the demonstrator and the second unit built in December 1947.
Three units were then built for Rio Grande before additional
demonstrators were produced later in 1948. Before production ended
in mid-1949, a total of 35 units had been built, with Jersey
Central owning the most units (14 total).
By 1950 other builders had increased the horsepower of their
competing road switchers, and FM responded with the 8-cylinder
1,600-horsepower H16-44 model. The earliest units were externally
very similar to the previous H15-44. MKT 1591 was initially ordered
as an H15-44, but was upgraded to 1,600hp during production.
The first true production H16-44s were ordered by Jersey
Central. Several large railroads purchased this model, including
Santa Fe, New York Central, Southern and Pennsylvania. A total of
99 units would be produced before production of the ?phase I?
version ended in December 1952. FM continued to produce H16-44s
with phase II and III body styles through 1963.
Our model represents the ?phase I? body style of both the H15-44
and H16-44 that was produced between 1947 and 1952. Options include
FM or AAR truck side frames, high or low-mounted headlights, early
or late-production phase 1 hoods and a removable fuel tank
skirt.

Built by ACF? from 1940-1953, the
70-Ton Hart Ballast Cars were formally known as ?Hart Selective
Service Ballast Cars?, due to the use of specially-designed doors
which allowed the lading to be discharged one of three ways: to the
center of the rails, to the center and sides of the rails, or to
the side of the rails only. |

The first all-steel cabooses built for the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad were produced in 1937 by the Magor
Car Corporation in Clifton, N.J. Magor, along with St. Louis Car
Company and ACF, ultimately built a total of 350 cabooses for the
C&O using a similar design. The last were produced in 1949.
Through subsequent rebuilding and modernization, many remained in
service through the end of regular caboose usage in the 1980s.
Cabooses of a similar design were also built for Pere Marquette,
Missouri Pacific and Chicago & Eastern Illinois.
