H10-44 Monolith

I was looking at the back of the recent Walthers' Catalog. The featured product was the HO scale Fairbanks Morse H10-44 yard switcher. With only the one long hood, and a cab that seems to disappear if you look at it directly from the side, the H10-44 has always reminded me of a refrigerator laying on its side on wheels. But seeing it in Wabash black gave me quite another impression. This time I saw it as the monolith in 2001 a Space Odessy. Suddenly I visualized the black H10-44 rolling slowly through the yard, building trains to the strains of Also Sprach Zarathustra. Now that's an impressive diesel!
