Proto 2000 FM H10-44 NYC #9101 w/ DC/ DCC Sound NEW


By the early 1930s, Fairbanks-Morse was ready to expand its line of diesel prime movers with a new design aimed at railroads. The new Model 38 as it was known used opposed pistons in place of a traditional cylinder head to form the combustion chamber. Although more mechanically complex, it was very smooth running and quiet when properly adjusted. The original six-cylinder 5 x 6" design could generate 300 horsepower; the Milwaukee Road had a single rail car, and the Baltimore & Ohio had two fitted with these engines. Larger eight-cylinder 8 x 10" models soon followed, producing 1,300 horsepower. This version caught the eye of the US Navy, who ordered several for submarines. In 1938, these same engines were selected by the Southern Railway to power five new lightweight rail cars. But further railroad sales were put on hold as the nation entered World War II and the Navy needed every Model 38 it could get. As the war began winding down, F-M was given the OK to build a prototype loco to test civilian applications for the Model 38. On August 21, 1944, F-M rolled out its first H10-44; H for a hood-type car body, 10 for 1000 horsepower and 44 for a B-B (four axles and four traction motors) wheel arrangement. Raymond Lowey designed the body, which featured a gently sloped nose and a rounded roof extending back over the cab. The prototype went to work for the Milwaukee Road, who placed the first large order for 10 in 1945. Some 197 were built through May of 1950 when a 1200-horsepower version (H12-44) was introduced. These models used the same body through 1952. Some H10s and H12s soldiered on into the early 1980s, often working for shortline and industrial users. The first H10 was restored by the Illinois Railway Museum and is still in operation.

Atlas HO Scale EMD GP-40 Canadian National #9309 NIB


In 1966 EMD introduced a new line of locomotives based on the 16-cylinder 645-series prime mover. The “40-series” included a six-axle and four-axle model, the latter being the GP40. A total of 1,145 units were produced between 1966 and 1972. These turbocharged 3,000hp locomotives were used primarily in road freight service. The GP40 was a versatile locomotive that could be found across the US hauling drag freights over mountain passes and leading high-speed intermodal trains across flat terrain. Three rooftop radiator fans at the rear of the long hood differentiate a GP40 from its lower horsepower counterpart, the GP38, which has two fans at this location.
Concurrent with GP40 production, EMD offered a lower horsepower, non-turbocharged locomotive based on the same 645-series prime mover. The four-axle GP38 was rated at 2,000 hp and had the advantage of costing less than the GP40. A total of 727 units were produced between 1966 and 1971 when the model was superseded. The wheelbase of the GP38 was identical to that of the GP40. Both units shared the same EMD road-switcher style body that was introduced with the GP35 in 1963. A desire for standardization caused the GP38 to share the same wheelbase, frame and many external components as the GP40. The GP38 was purchased by large and small roads alike. It was routinely found in local and road freight service throughout the US. Many GP38s and 40s are still in service today.
Options on the Atlas GP38 and GP40 models include a long hood with or without dynamic brakes and an underframe with 2,600 or 3,600 gallon fuel tanks.

Bachmann HO Scale Qinghai-Tibet Railway NJ2 Diesel Loco


The Qinghai-Tibet railway runs for an incredible 960 kilometres over mountains which are over 4,000 meters above sea level. In order to assure that the high level rail railway runs efficiently, powerful locomotives are the main components of reliable operation of the Qinghai-Tibet railway. The locomotives are designed to have special characteristics for running over the severe gradients of the Qinghai-Tibet route. The total length of the second phase of Qinghai-Tibet railway from Gomud to Lhasa is 1142 kilometres. About 550 kilometres of the line were built on frozen earth. The demanding climatic conditions include high elevation, low air pressure, thin air, severe cold, significant temperature changes, strong sandstorms. ect. all add to the complexity of operating this line. At present, the locomotives running on the Qinghai-Tibet railway are "Snowland Ship" NJ2 diesel locomotives which operate alongside new DF 8B and DF 7G locomotives.
