Fairbanks, Morse and Company were
Fairbanks, Morse and Company were a highly successful manufacturing business that had a hand in all sorts of markets, though they are mostly known for their scales and diesel engines. Naturally, they eventually dabbled into the locomotive market, but this venture barely lasted twenty years with less than 1.5 thousand locomotives sold. Why did this company, with such a solid record up until that point, fail so badly with railroads?

"Fairbanks, Morse and Company was an American manufacturing company in the late 19th and early 20th century. Originally a weighing scale manufacturer, it later diversified into pumps, engines, windmills, coffee grinders, radios, farm tractors, feed mills, locomotives, and industrial supplies until it was purchased by Penn Texas in 1958."
