Jerry B44 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 A Baldwin Shark A kit was made a few years back and I got one. Good detail, thick casting. Came with etched grills, as the new B unit will. You can read about it here on the UK G Scale site. https://www.gscalecentral.net/threads/1-29-baldwin-shark-b-unit-kit.306348/#post-434627 Might post your name if you are interested in one. Only 25 A units were made, later some lamented they did not get one. I finished mine, did not ever see any other postings of finished ones, except for Rob Fern, who made the kit. Pix of the A unit kit, the rectangle on the bottom is the etched grills, also an etched data plate. I plan to get a B unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B44 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 I see there have been some updates on the progress of the Shark B unit. Anyone here do an A? Mine is lonely.! https://www.gscalecentral.net/threads/1-29-baldwin-shark-b-unit-kit.306348/#post-434731 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Project is moving along, but guess no one on this forum bought a A unit. The Shark guy is making progress, The original etchings and castings have been sourced, plus going over some bits. Hopefully he should have something for sale very very shortly as he has now pretty much got it all in the bag! He has said though that orders are very low.

Jerry B44 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 This Baldwin Shark B kit is looking pretty good. You can also get a frame for your A unit, if you never made it. https://www.gscalecentral.net/threads/1-29-baldwin-shark-b-unit-kit.306348/page-3#post-443057 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
