Your locos have a certain style that I haven’t quite managed to pin down, its possibly the studless thing or the feeling of bulk, either way I like it.

Thank you Tim.

The studless design is largely inspired by Jonathon Lopes, who has been doing a lot in terms of studless construction with his vehicles and buildings.

A great Monon resource is The Monon Railroad Historical-Technical Society, especially their Diesel Picture of the Week.

The Monon aslo had several FM H15-44s, which is very similar to the H10-44, but has a hood that extends on the other side of the cab.



The above picture is from this site which seems to have a few FM photos.
