HO Bachmann Shark PRR ?
Bachmann recently released an RF-16 Shark model in HO. Anyone have one yet and care to share how good it is? I've had a few bachmann things over the years and although the engines seem to run well, there are always problems with the detailing which has led me to shy away from them. How do they run? Are the details attached well and accurate? I see that it appears they do not carry road numbers. Are easy to use decals provided?
I know the PRR had two numbering sets for their four axle Sharks: 20xx series and a 95xx/96xx/97xx series. Were there any outward differences between the two sets? Just trying to figure out which number I should model if I get one. Thanks!

I have not seen one, but I have heard that its not too bad. Supposed to be better in detail then ER (?) one. Not quite as good pulling and motor, bt better detailed. Supposed to be in the lower RTR DCC line, like the GP40 and GP50's.

sure doKawalchuck has one
Very WellHow do they run?

pretty close some are so so
No road numbers you are right... no on the decals, already on unitI see that it appears they do not carry road numbers. Are easy to use decals provided?
Also they are DCC on board, so for a ready to run DCC loco, the price is pretty good

Kawalchuck, thanks for the photos. It looks like I'll have to purchase some number decals elsewhere, then?
Finally, and I don't need a photo, but I presume the front keystone logo under the headlight just has the PRR logo, correct? When the sharks were delivered, as with most of the early F units, E units, and FAs and PAs, the locomotive number was put in the keystone, and later it was just repainted with the PRR. Just curious to know if I'll have to get a decal for that, too. Thanks.
