D&H H-Class locomotive #1600, the first one built, and was the last one in service, having been scrapped December of 1952. The Erie ordered their three 0-8-8-0 “camelbacks”, from ALCo in 1907. After borrowing one of the Erie’s for use as a test pusher on Ararat, the D&H ordered 13 of these locos for themselves, also from ALCo in 1910-12, #1600-1612.

This loco is a major brass-bash using a Sunset Erie 0-8-8-0 as a base-model. A new, lengthened boiler has been constructed, driver axle centers have been re-spaced to accommodate the new 57″ drivers, replacing the original 51″, as was done on the prototype during the D&H Colonie Shops 1930-1937 complete rebuilding and upgrading of this locomotive series .
