For those planning to model Baldwin "Passenger Sharks", the following information may be helpful.
Please note that the drawings are at a higher than usual resolution (150 dpi) for web distribution and many browsers may not be able to display them. Some are also large in size...11 by 17 inches. If your browser cannot display the file, hold the mouse button down on the link and you should get a "pop-up" menu with an option to download the file to disk. After doing so, your browser may then be able to view the file. Better yet, open the file in Adobe PhotoShop or place it into a page layout program such as Adobe PageMaker. Also note that the original documents were not very clear which causes the scans to appear to be of poor quality, which they are not.

Scheme 1: Photo (214K) of "Passenger shark 5784 on the point of a eastbound passenger train stopped at either Ft. Wayne, Ind. or Englewood, Ill. Unit is in its original pristine condition. The painting diagram for this scheme has not been included with this feature since it has already been printed in Rails Northeast several years ago. 5774 is representative of how the Baldwin passenger sharks were delivered in appearance and application of lettering and painting details.
