Model Railroading > HO scale Baldwin DR-44-15 "Babyface" now shippingDate: 11/14/10 07:10 HO scale Baldwin DR-44-15 "Babyface" now shipping Author: LV95032 The Anthracite Railroads Historical Society, Inc. is producing an HO scale CNJ prototype DR-44-15 resin shell kit to mount on a Proto 2000 FA2 mechanism. This has been a couple years in development and a number of people have put deposits down on these models some as far back as a year ago. Presently they are being shipped out in order of the date we received the original deposit. Additional information including a .pdf of the instruction sheet and ordering information can be found on the ARHS website - www.anthraciterailroads.org

I thought that only the CNJ had that unique face and the NYC wore the later rendition of the "shark face" design.

The MoPac ones were not the same length and cannot be modeled with the ARHS CNJ units. Over the years CNJ modelers have bought the old brass Hallmark models only to find out that they were patterned after the MoPac units and were not appropriate for the CNJ Babyfaces.
I'm not sure about the Central units but knowing Baldwin I wouldn't be surprised if every order was different.

They also had a couple six axle A-1-A passenger "baby face" units.
