*Justin, I am not sure but think they were made in brass by Alco or Hallmark. If and when I find my brown book I'll know. Looked all over and cant find my brown books. They must have gone on vacation without me.

Like Frank, I don't remember who made the model. But it was made in brass only many years ago. I think it was Hallmark but not certain.
You could scratch build it on an old Walthers H10-44 chassis. The truck wheel spacing is a little small, but can be covered by a set of old Athearn SW-7 truck side frames. The shell can be built combinding the Walthers end cab and an Atlas H15- or earl H16-44 shell. At least that is the plan I am trying to work through.
Save all the left over parts! mix them with a Bachmann H16-44 to produce the rare H12-44TS.

Any you guys have partsfrom a Bachmann H16-44? I am in need of the radiator parts for one I got that had the radiator section smashed right in after it was mis-handled in shipping......Sadly other then that the unit runs pretty good and a slightly larger screw repaired the loose frame issue but the radiator section is toast......PM if anyone has parts to spare! Trade or purchase welcome!

| Let me take a look through the parts bin. I think I might have the radiator section you want. Can you post a photo of the damaged section?
