I have the sharks from Lionel that are painted in southern pacific colors which the so never hand . Does anyone know someone who will paint these units into the demonstrator colors Baldwin had for these units. Thanks for the info.

Still the best Shark paint scheme; so obvious, really. Honestly, if L or M or W would offer this as a limited run they would sell. I never cared for the BLW Sharks too much, but these - I couldn't resist.
(Of course, the Shark's styling started here, so if you really have a bigger boat, the T-1 could use some teeth
AWESOME William

Pennsy had bigger sharks, they didn't run well. Weaver BP20's

Never knew you had Sharks.
Here is a video of my Pennsy Sharks. They are the TMCC units from the century club. Both A units are powered so they had no trouble pulling my military train which is very heavy due to all the die cast tanks, half track, tank destroyers, priests etc. Both units also have sound so I gave them both the same TMCC ID number this explains the loud horn. They are also good smokers except in this video which drives me crazy, The couplers have been altered so the close couple too.

Nice video!
Back-in-the-day Dad&I once spent most of the daylight hours from Chicago to Grand Canyon watching out the rear door of our Pullman. Your video took me right back.

Those look familiar, they're just missing the B-Unit.
I don't have a photo but I do have a memory. Across the tracks from Grandma&Grandpa's house and in an open field rested.....a six cylinder Baldwin Diesel engine. That thing was immense! The crankcase access hatches were missing and you could see that the massive crankshaft was broken. That engine came out of a BLH (Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton) Drag Line which was also rusting away in the strip-mine next door. It was the same engine (6cyl rather than 8cyl) as used in the Sharknose.
