The Weaver O gauge ABS Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) Sharknose in Brunswick Green (also known as Dark Green Locomotive Enamel or DGLE) is a classic semi-scale release. While Weaver famously produced highly precise, high-end brass versions of the PRR BP-20 Sharknose, their ABS versions were built as part of their more accessible, durable line.

Identification and DetailsThe Paint Scheme: This model is finished in the prototypical PRR Brunswick Green—a green so dark it often looks black except under direct light—and features the classic 5-stripe gold lettering scheme.

The "Tuscan" Confusion: Be careful when searching catalogs. Weaver's most heavily distributed plastic PRR Sharknose set was released in Tuscan Red (Item #9736). The Brunswick Green plastic version pops up much less frequently and is rare.
