Trainmasters & Baby Trainmasters -- are any left?

[leemo]

I am wondering if any one knows if there any Trainmasters/Baby-trainmasters left (either running or in a museum?)  How close were they to other FM Products in general look or style?

I have seen many pictures over the years but would like to see one up close?

The only H24-66 and H16-66 survivors are in Canada, as are the only C-Liner passenger units. The Train Master is just south of Montreal while the "baby Train Master" is in Calgary.

There is one missing from that list.  The Tennessee Valley Authority H16-66 is on display at the power plant in Gallatin Tennessee.

That is a GMD G8 built for CN with A1A trucks.

Well I know the question was about Trainmasters, and Baby Trainmasters. But there is a FM H10-44 on display at Bellevue, Ohio in Mil. Road colors, voluenteered and got to help paint the orange. THe H15-44 is my favorite loco though wish I could find one of them in PRR.

Well Trainmasters and Baby Trainmasters looked a lot like each other !! The H-16-66 went into production first, about a year ahead of the H-24-66 Trainmaster. When the Trainmaster debuted, FM changed the H-16-66 so it had as many interchangeable parts with the H-24-66 as possible. Early H-16-66's were a little different - rounded cab windows etc. - but from 1953 on they were almost identical except that the Baby TM was about 3-1/2' shorter.

I've seen several instances from back in the day of railmags or books misidentifying the CNW's or Milwaukee's H-16-66's as "Trainmasters"!!

I guess in general the roadswitcher and switcher lines from FM did share at least one common trait, the very tall hoods!! They were needed because the opposed piston diesel motors stood a lot taller than EMD or other builder's motors did.

There are three FM H12-44's awaiting restoration at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera, Alabama.  They are US Army numbers 1850, 1853, and 1861.
