Western Railroad Discussion > Fairbanks Morse H12-44 On the Load BoxDate: 11/22/21 18:34 Fairbanks Morse H12-44 On the Load Box Author: D-Althaus SCRM put the Fairbanks Morse H12-44 on the load box today. Just light loading this first time. Kept it at about 350 Hp for about an hour, after the engine had warmed up. No oil spitting out the stack. Very light smoke exhaust. Excellent result for the first run. The file below is from DropBox. I hope it downloads correctly when you click on it.

It said I didn't have the latest DropBox app. I tried to download that and got all screwed up. Regardless, the engine ran fine.

Spent a lot of time on these back in the early 60's, often with a broomstick holding the lube oil governor down I seem to remember. Plenty of oil but for some reason the governor didn't agree.
