I managed to get my hands on a Tyco SF Shark with a battered and marked box. The Shark is nearly perfect and I don't think it has been used. I know the site says only cataloged in '82 but was it always sold seperately? I haven't run this one but has anyone noticed that the Sharks seem to pull pretty well? I have a BN, RI and a Midnight Ex. That are strong pullers.

I have never seen any TYCO train set offering featuring the Santa Fe painted Shark Nose. And as mentioned, the Santa Fe Shark only appears in TYCO's 1982 product catalog.

Wow, nice "Shark". Amazing condition for the shape the box was in. Nice find.
