In an indirect reference to the March 2007 feature page. There was a Sharknose B unit produced by ROCO which was marketed by Model Power as I recall.
I purchase an ABA set while on vacation around 1976 or so.
The non-powered B-unit was Model Power 751 (in it's original box); the A-powered, A-dummy were out of the box. All PRR maroon w/yellow stripes.

My hobby shop, here in town has the pair, in CP, for $60. Roco's last a long time. Did you know that the motors were first built for war-plane aleron motors? After the war, there was no use for the motors in the planes. So, someone took them and put them in HO locomotives.
They last forever!

oh, you said Sharknose... The pair, here, are FA's.
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
