HO RF-16 Sharknose Locomotive B in MP 204B Eagle Paint (BLI8287)

HO RF-16 Sharknose B-Unit Locomotive in MP 204B Eagle Paint is an HO-scale replica of Baldwin’s iconic Sharknose design, issued as a B-unit to pair with A-units on Missouri Pacific freight trains. It captures the distinctive silhouette and rugged character of the era’s locomotives, delivering authentic mid-century appeal to any layout. This Stealth Series model is DCC-ready with no sound out of the box, and features directional front and rear lights with additional lighting that activates on track power.

Built with an ABS body and die-cast chassis for maximum tractive effort, the model features a precision drive system engineered for heavy towing and smooth slow-speed operation, along with all-wheel electrical pickup. An 8-ohm speaker is installed to facilitate adding sound, and metal Kadee-compatible couplers are included for prototypical coupling. It will operate on Code 70, Code 83, and Code 100 track and requires a minimum 18-inch radius. Prototypically accurate paint schemes, multiple separately applied details, and high-quality finishing contribute to a visually faithful Missouri Pacific Sharknose, with some light-function behavior depending on the decoder installed.
