These changes involved raising the walkway \u0026amp; simplifying the short \u0026amp; long hood to make construction easier. Exterior-wise the locomotives looked much like their bigger brother – the H24-66 but with 4 axles instead of 6. Under the hood the locomotives were nearly identical to the earlier phases of H16-44 except for replacing the Westinghouse Electrical System with a more reliable General Electric system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA total of 165 of the H16-44 Phase III Locomotives were built between 1955 and 1963. Locomotives for the Canadian Pacific Railway \u0026amp; Canadian National Railway were built by Fairbanks Morse subsidiary Canadian Locomotive Company. A total of 58 H16-44s of were built at this plant. The last H16-44 was built for the Ferrorcarril de Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad in 1963. This was the last Fairbanks Morse Locomotive to roll off the assembly line as the company folded the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapido is now offering the H16-44 Phase III Locomotive in HO Scale. Since we so much enjoy reducing our design engineers to tears, Rapido is, of course offering these locomotives with all the road-specific details we can fit to make these models as accurate as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\" data-content-type=\"column-line\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"PB6R13W\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"WSPNTKO\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e The Rapido Trains HO scale Fairbanks-Morse H16-44 locomotive features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoads of roadname-specific details, including hood doors and handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate dimensions measured from the real thing!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Trucks: Dofasco or AAR.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth Dynamic \u0026amp; Non-Dynamic carbodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam generators where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull underbody piping and conduits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferent fuel tanks depending on road name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit number boards, headlights and green and white class lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapido’s proven drive system adapted from the FA-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC\/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC\/DCC\/Sound options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMacdonald Cartier magnetic couplers installed at the correct height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44023864918052,"sku":"RAP44505","price":294.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1534\/6724\/files\/1500bd0b92e724fcba9e1558b8f40d14.jpg?v=1775883569","url":"https:\/\/justinstrains.com\/products\/rapido-ho-scale-milwaukee-road-h16-44-locomotive-429-dcc-sound-44505","provider":"Justin's Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
