Baldwin RF-16 "Sharknose" Collection
"We’re going to need a bigger boat."
Well, it’s finally here! Months of slow progress have finally ended, and I’m very glad to welcome the Baldwin RF-16 Sharknose to Rolling Line!
This project started in March of 2021, but over time faded out of my memory, however, due to my motivation for this mod suddenly flaring up, I decided to finish it, thanks to the kind words of my close friends, and community members who kept encouraging me to get it done, it means a lot to me.
Thank you, please enjoy!

The BLH RF-16 was a 1,625-horsepower (1,212 kW) cab unit-type diesel locomotive built for freight service by the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation between 1950 and 1953. In 1948, Baldwin began to apply a new "Sharknose" body style to its cab unit diesel locomotives. The goal of the new style was partly to differentiate Baldwin locomotives from competitors, and partly to distance the new locomotives from early Baldwin diesels that were plagued with mechanical problems. Baldwin’s RF-16 Sharknose diesels’ distinctive contours were inspired by Pennsy’s T1 class steam locomotive and certainly appear related to the GG1. Known as excellent "luggers", the Sharks saw service hauling heavy ore and coal drags. The RF-16 Shark beat the F7 with 100 additional horsepower and tied the FA2 with 1600 horsepower. Contrary to many reports, Baldwin diesels could be run in MU operation with diesels built by other makers if the units were ordered with the proper MU equipment from the Baldwin catalog. There are two surviving Sharks owned by the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad.
