Can anyone show me where the exhaust outlet is found on a Baldwin Shark. I have 3 ROCO/Model Power shells that I am weathering and suddenly realized that I have no clue where to put the exhaust staining!

On the Tyco Shark, there's a round port just behind the engineer's side of the cab; I've always assumed this to be the exhaust? Does this feature exist on the Model Power shark?

Yes, there is a round, flat "lump". The opposite side of the roof has an odd, trapizoidal lump as well. Not sure what that one is either. I do not know much about Baldwins!!

I thought it was rather strange that the roof of the Model Power Alco FA2 has so much detail while the Shark is kinda sparse.

Ah, that's interesting. On the Tyco it's not just a "lump", but rather a clearly-defined port:



I don't know what else it could be, myself. I think the angular protrusions are vent screens. Probably intake up front, and then radiator cooling on the rear. On the Tyco, the screen mesh detail is missing. But it is supposed to be there.

Ahh! I see the outlet now. The tyco has a hole while the Model Power has a flat disc in the same spot. Hence why I can not see the outlet on mine. Thanks for the photo. It is clear now. I need to drill out the opening.
