Walthers Proto FM H10-44 Pennsylvania Switcher #920-47830
Walthers Proto 920-47830 FM H10-44 Pennsylvania Switcher
The FM H-10-44 was a yard switcher produced by Fairbanks-Morse from August,
1944–March, 1950. The units featured a 1,000-horsepower (750 kW), six-cylinder
opposed piston prime mover, and were configured in a B-B wheel arrangement
mounted atop a pair of two-axle AAR Type A trucks, with all axles powered. Many
H-10-44s received modifications that increased their horsepower rating to 1,200
hp (890 kW).
The
Raymond Loewy-designed carbody featured a slanted nose, sloping hood lines, and
(considered to be its most distinguishing feature) a protruding roof visor
mounted on the rear of the cab. These styling cues were carried through to the
H-10-44's successor, the FM H-12-44, until September 1952 when the exterior
design was "Spartanized" to reduce production costs.
A total of 195 units were built for American railroads. Three intact examples of
the H-10-44 are known to survive today, all of which are owned by railroad
museums.
