Bachmann Baldwin Shark

Andy wants guidance from readers to convert his Baldwin Shark loco to DCC. Andy asks:

“I would like to convert my ModelPower Baldwin Shark to DCC. It has a large can type motor with two wires and the headlight wire exposed. I only want power and lighting; I don’t need sound. Any help I can get to do this will be greatly appreciated.”

Pictured is the Bachmann HO Scale DCC Pennsylvania RR Baldwin RF-16 A Unit Shark Diesel Locomotive from Bachmann. The distinctive nose contours of Baldwin’s RF-16 diesels earned them the name “Shark”. These powerful freight hauling locomotives were built in the early 1950s and saw service hauling coal, ore and other heavy loads.
