What is it..?? - Steamtrains - 09-08-2012
A question for you diesel historians....
What model is the loco on the front cover of the October issue of MRR..??
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://mrr.trains.com/Magazine/Current%20Issue.aspx">http://mrr.trains.com/Magazine/Current%20Issue.aspx</a><!-- m -->
What is it and where would I find one..??
I REALLY need it, in UP colors preferably....

That would be a Fairbanks Morse H10-44, produced by Walther's (available with DCC and sound - $259.98) but they don't show the UP version available at this time, if in fact they have done that scheme (UP only had 5 of them). Walther's site says they are sold out but you might be able to locate one at one of the on-line dealers. Good luck.

Thanks for the info guys....
My interest comes from having run across the "remains" of one in Mexico several years ago...
I posted a series of pictures of it, but that was in the old Gauge. I tried looking for them but couldn't find them....
As for UP....It's the "outside world" road my LC&P connects to.
