Lionel 2333252 Central of Georgia LEGACY H-15-44 #102 Fairbanks Morse introduced their 1500
horsepower road switcher in 1947,
contracting Raymond Loewy to design
the carbody. The locomotives balanced
a functional design with a little bit of
style and flair. Befitting their style, many
were equipped for passenger service,
although most were quickly relegated to
freights. After just a few years of production
and some improvements in the prime
mover, the locomotive was upgraded to
1600 horses. There were no major changes
in the overall body of the locomotive
between the H-15-44 and early H-16-44s,
though the majority of the latter were built
with FM’s C-Liner style truck as opposed to
AAR trucks on the original model.
Over the years ahead, railroads
would make modifications and smaller
differences in screen and vent styles and
locations appeared in both models. The
most common change, during or after
construction in later years included moving
the safety railings from the hood body
to the outside of the frame. It did little to
help Loewy’s look, but safety came first.
Some railroads experimented with reengining
the locomotives as well, but most
were in scrap lines by the early 1960s.
Based on our H-16-44, we have made
some tooling and truck modifications to
backdate our models. Why? Some of
these paint schemes were just too good
to resist! In these striking liveries, the
H-15-44 will look great on the point of a
small passenger or freight consist. Perfect
power for smaller roads or just adding a
touch of style to your fleet of “look-alike”
GP7s, an H-15-44 will be a standout on any
roster.
