Not sure who made this one, it's an RF-16 shark B unit, got it for $1 at the Timonium train show. Since I haven't acquired a metal Mantua version yet, this will have to suffice for now. Needs cleaning up and a repaint, but everything is intact on it.

Jerry, a metal shark shell for $1 is not just stealing, it's highway robbery. INCREDIBLE buy.

Unfortunately, it's NOT metal, it's all plastic. I was wishing to find one, one just sold on Ebay for over $30, didn't want to pay that much. But a plastic one will suffice for now. :)

Well dang it, I should actually read the posts lol. I am always on the look out for metal shells so they're on the brain
Still a good buy for $1 though!

Jerry, that's a Roco shell. The B units aren't too common, so it's definitely worth stripping and repainting.
