HO RF-16 Sharknose Locomotive A DMIR 730 Maroon & Yellow with Paragon4 (BLI7705)

HO scale RF-16 Sharknose Locomotive A DMIR 730 in maroon and yellow with Paragon4 sound recreates Baldwin’s iconic Sharknose in true-to-life detail. The A-unit is powered and paired with a lightweight B-unit to form an authentic ABA set, ideal for heavy-haul ore or coal drags on a model railroad. An additional powered A-unit is available separately for expanding the roster, with prototypical DMIR liveries, road numbers, and lighting.

Designed for modern HO layouts, this model features Paragon4 sound with Rolling Thunder, a dual‑mode decoder for smooth DC or DCC operation, and a drive system engineered for heavy towing and smooth slow speed. It uses all‑wheel electrical pickup, an ABS body with a die‑cast chassis for maximum traction, and includes numerous separately applied details, prototypical lighting, and authentic Baldwin Sharknose sounds. MicroTrains-compatible couplers and compatibility with Code 55/70/80 track ensure realistic operation, with a minimum 18-inch radius for reliable cornering.
