Sharknose

Prototype: |
Built
between 1950 and 1953, the RF-16 Sharknose diesels were cab unit
diesel locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works to the
specifications of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Their distinctive contours
were reminiscent of Raymond Loewy's design for the Pennsy's T1 class
steam locomotive. Baldwin built a total of 160 of these locomotives
- 109 A-units and 51 cabless booster B-units. In addition to the
PRR, B&O and NYC railroads also operated a substantial number
of the "Sharks".
The Sharknose
locomotives were known as excellent "luggers". They
regularly saw service hauling heavy ore and coal drags. The RF-16
Sharknose locomotives beat the F7 with 100 additional horsepower
and tied the FA2 with 1600 horsepower. Unfortunately, they did
not last as long as the F7's. With a few exceptions, most of the
engines were retired by 1967.
In this production
run, we are offering A-B Sets in 3 prototypically accurate paint
schemes, along with additional A and B units available as a separate
item. We are also offering two D&H Sharks as single A-units.
The railroads
typically operated these in ABA configurations. Our A-B sets come
with a Powered A-unit with Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC and an unpowered
B-unit with a lightweight frame. We also offer an additional single
powered A-unit for each paint scheme where appropriate. This single
unit has our full Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC system. All of our models
have road-specific details and lighting.

lights in each RSD-15 model(note that light options may be limited
