The Sharks are most likely American Hirail with an American Models FA frame and both trucks powered.
The E7 is also most likely an American Hirail shell with the American Hirail trucks which allowed the motor if there wwas one to drive the end axles and lay right thru the middle where the idler axle would be located...... gale ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Hawley To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 3:38 PM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} (not) American Models locos ----- Original Message ----- From: ken garber There's a pair of Sharks listed as AM. http://cgi.ebay.com/S-Scale-Twin-Shark-Nose-Diesels-NYC-4-Motors-Superb-/370481880374?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item564270dd36 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Location Strongsville OH, and he has 98.8% positive feedback.

Wonder if "B unit" to the Strongsville gentleman simply means unpowered. The trucks appear to be AF - no center wheelset.
