HO RF-16 Sharknose Locomotive A/B MP 204 / 204B Eagle with Paragon4 (BLI7706)

HO RF-16 Sharknose Locomotive A/B set with Paragon4 Sound in the Eagle livery (MP 204/204B) captures Baldwin's iconic Sharknose in HO scale. The set pairs a powered A-unit with Paragon4 Sound and a lightweight-frame unpowered B-unit, arranged for authentic ABA operation on modern layouts. These locomotives were historically renowned as strong lugging engines for heavy ore and coal drags, and the model mirrors that rugged power with a dual-mode decoder for smooth DC and DCC operation, all-wheel pickup, a die-cast chassis, and an ABS body with prototypical lighting and paint that faithfully reflects the railroader’s road numbers.

Designed for realism and versatility, this RF-16 features multiple separately applied details such as grab irons, horns, and a bell, plus prototypical sounds unique to the Baldwin Sharknose. It includes MicroTrains-compatible couplers for easy integration with other rolling stock and can run on Code 55, 70, and 80 rails with a minimum radius of 18 inches. A second powered A-unit is available separately for expanded ABA operation, making this HO model a compelling centerpiece for ore- and coal-hauling scenes.
