FRISCO FM H-10-44 #274 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 engine prime mover. Many H-10-44s received modifications that increased their horsepower rating to 1,200 hp (890 kW). In this model, the inferior QSI decoder was replaced with a Soundtraxx Econami.WalthersTsunami2

MOPAC 4-8-2 #5308Between 1921 and 1930 the MoPac took delivery of nineteen class MT-73 “Mountains” from ALCO. These locomotives arrived in four batches: road numbers 5308 through 5312 were part of the first batch that were delivered in 1921. The last five class MT-73s to arrive in 1930 had 27 x 30 cylinders, 73″ drivers, a 250 psi boiler pressure and exerted 63,662 lbs of tractive effort. MehanoTsunami2

MOPAC Alco RS-11 #4610The first RS-11s were produced by ALCO in early 1956. Classified by ALCO as model DL-701, it was their replacement for the popular RS-3 road switcher. Featuring a V-12, 1,800 hp (1,300 kW) 251B diesel engine, the RS-11 was designed to compete with EMD’s GP9. The turbocharged RS-11 accelerated faster, had a higher tractive effort rating and typically used less fuel than the competition. Proto 2000774610
