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\u0026amp;O and NYC railroads also operated a substantial number of the \"Sharks\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003eIn 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\u0026amp;H Sharks as single A-units. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of individually controllable lights in our Sharknose models (note that light options may be limited in Stealth Series models):\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumberboard Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to our Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC units, we are also offering these in our Stealth series.
