Featuring 3 TYCO "Midnight Special" Sharknoses hauling 9 total box cars! The lead locomotive features an MU-2 motor-swap/truck assembly that I completed, the 2nd is the traditional PowerTorque version, and the 3rd is a dummy.

That's a great multi-unit power lashup!

How do they run together? Looks like pretty well from the video.

I've come to the realization that the Tyco Shark is something tragically under-represented in my collection. They have great lines on them, and Tyco had a really stunning line-up of paint schemes. The Midnight Special is certainly a classic. Great video!

The Shark Master agrees, DaCheez.

Thanks Crown Vic! They run fairly well together, once they run for a few minutes at least, as all the MU-2 motors in my experience take a little "warming up" before they perform well - regarding the MU-2 powered Shark that is.
