Description
HO-scale PRR BF-16 Sharknose A-B locomotives with Paragon4 Sound bring authentic Baldwin Sharknose diesel power to HO layouts. This set pairs a powered A-unit (with Paragon4 Sound) with an unpowered B-unit to form a faithful AB configuration, with an additional powered A-unit available separately for longer consists. Painted in prototypically accurate PRR schemes with road numbers and functioning lighting, these models capture the look of the era, while the Paragon4 systemâ€â€featuring Rolling Thunder and a dual-mode decoder with back-EMFâ€â€delivers convincing sound and smooth operation on both DC and DCC layouts.
Built for realistic heavy freight work, these locomotives feature all-wheel pickup, a die-cast chassis for maximum traction, and an ABS body for durability. They include many separately applied details such as grab irons, horns, and bells, plus prototypical lighting and road-specific detailing. MicroTrains-compatible couplers, broad track compatibility with Code 55, 70 and 80, and a minimum 18-inch radius ensure reliable operation on a wide range of layouts, making them well suited for hauling ore or coal drags with presence and authentic sound.
