HO BF-16 Sharknose Locomotive A PRR 9709 5 Stripe with Paragon4 (BLI7691)

HO-scale Baldwin Sharknose Locomotive in the Pennsylvania Railroad’s classic five-stripe livery, PRR 9709, powered by Paragon4 Sound. This model captures the Sharknose silhouette and is designed to deliver authentic heavyweight freight power to modern layouts. The Paragon4 system provides prototypical sounds and smooth performance on both DC and DCC layouts, with Rolling Thunder for added realism.

Typically offered as an ABA set, the arrangement includes a powered A-unit with Paragon4 Sound and a dual-mode decoder for DC and DCC, paired with an unpowered B-unit, with an additional powered A-unit available for certain paint schemes. Built with an ABS body and a die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort, it features all-wheel pickup, road-specific lighting, and prototypical detailing such as grab irons, horns, and bells. MicroTrains-compatible couplers, operation on Code 55/70/80 rails, and a minimum 18-inch radius support realistic operation, while the dual-mode decoder with Back EMF delivers superb slow-speed performance for convincing heavy-haul motion.
