HO Scale H16-44 DC/DCC/S MILW Orange & Black #432 (RPI44506)

Milwaukee Road HO Scale H16-44 Phase III Diesel Locomotive in orange and black is a detailed, era-accurate model that faithfully reproduces Fairbanks Morse’s 1600 horsepower hood-unit from the 1950s. This HO-scale locomotive is designed for model railroaders seeking an authentic Milwaukee Road appearance on an HO layout or display, with the distinctive paint scheme and classic diesel profile on full display.

Road-name specific detailing includes hood doors and handrails, factory-installed grab irons, full underbody piping and conduits, and lit number boards, headlights, and green-and-white class lights. It supports DC Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/Sound operation, features prototypical trucks (Dofasco or Fairbanks Morse), steam generators where appropriate, and fuel tanks that vary by road name. A Rapido drive system, adapted from the FA-2, delivers smooth performance, while Macdonald Cartier magnetic couplers sit at the correct height for reliable coupling. This combination yields a highly accurate Phase III locomotive that captures mid-century diesel-era charm on HO layouts.
