That's a Model Power Baldwin Shark nose.
They were made for Model Power by Roco in Austria.
Actually there were quite a few model trains made in Austria.

Hello,

also see this thread:

http://www.tycoforums.com/tyco/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6117

Austria had (and still has...) a well known and sophisticated model railway industry. Roco, Liliput, Kleinbahn are some of the names.

But also the prototype railways in Austria deserve a visit. Steep mountains, tunnels, bridges make the OBB (Austrian State Railways) one of the most interresting European railways.

Model Power is just an importer of trains. Their manufacturers came from a few different countries:

Italy: Lima
Yugoslavia: Mehanotehnika
Austria: Roco
China: Playart

Roco is one of the top trainmakers in the world, no worries with this shark!
