HO Scale H16-44 DC/DCC/S CN Wet Noodle #2202 (RPI44534)

HO Scale H16-44 Phase III Locomotive in CN livery is a detailed HO model that recreates Fairbanks Morse’s 1,600-horsepower road-switcher from the 1950s and early 1960s, built to bring authentic CN power to model railroads. The Phase III update includes a raised walkway and simplified hood lines, yielding the familiar silhouette while incorporating modern internals. Roadname-specific detailing runs across the model with hood doors and handrails, separately installed grab irons, full underbody piping, lit number boards, headlights, and green-and-white class lights. It offers DC operation, silent (21-pin DCC Ready), or DC/DCC/Sound configurations, plus prototypical trucks (Dofasco or Fairbanks Morse), steam generators where appropriate, and fuel tanks that vary by road name for true-to-life identity on the rails.

Powered by Rapido’s drive system, adapted from the FA-2, this HO locomotive delivers smooth operation and reliable pulling power. Macdonald-Cartier magnetic couplers sit at the correct height for realistic linking, while the design emphasizes accurate dimensions and road-name details to create a faithful, display-worthy representation on CN layouts or in collections.
