Notes:

The "Sharknose" kit consisted of a urethane body shell, brass investment-cast detail parts (at the time from SouthWind, but now available from B.T.S.), brass wire, sheet steel drilled and tapped chassis, SouthWind sprung brass trucks (in kit form), NorthWest Short Line drive components, and a Sagami motor. The B-unit was available as a separate kit. The A-unit kit came with everything necessary to model the PRR-specific Trainphone antennas.

Dick built this model, which uses MV lenses, Microscale decals, and Kadee S-scale couplers.
