QUOTE: Originally posted by Willi-ro Many years ago I bought a number of sharknose diesels from a shop in Oslo Norway. The owner wanted to get rid of them so I got them cheap at about 10 dollars each. Although I did not model the US scene at that time I liked the look of them. I ran them alongside my european stock, funny trains you might say. Now as I have turned to modelling the US scene they will become real workhorses. They are all from Model Power but made by Roco. I have had no trouble with them as yet. The roads represented are D&H an A+A set B&O another A+A set , and a A+B+A set which is in AT&SF Warbonnet paint scheme. I cannot find any record that the AT&SF had sharknoses, perhaps someone could enlighten me about that. If they didn't then I have a repaint job ahead of me. William
