The Baldwin RF-16 was a 1,600-horsepower cab unit-type diesel locomotive built for freight service by the Baldwin Locomotive Works between 1950 and 1953. All RF-16s were configured with a B-B wheel arrangement and ran on two AAR Type B two-axle road trucks, with all axles powered. A total of 109 cab-equipped A units were built, along with 51 cabless booster B units, for a total of 160 locomotives built. As was the case with most passenger locomotives of its day, the RF-16s came equipped with a retractable, nose-mounted drop coupler pilot. Unlike competing units from EMD and Alco, the RF-16 used an air-powered throttle, meaning that it could not be run in MU operation with EMD or Alco diesels without special MU equipment.

The Baldwin 608A Prime mover can also be used for the following Locomotives:

RF-16 "Sharknose"
AS-616
AS-16
AS-416

The 608SC is also a similar sound and can be found in the following locomotives:
DRS-6-4-1500
DRS-4-4-1500
DRS-6-6-1500
DR-4-4-1500 "Babyface"
DR-4-6-1500

Please note:
This file contains an unused "Class Light" feature which allows for Cycling Aux3, Aux4, and Aux5 when using a 21MTC decoder. Assign the "Class Light" "Sound" to the function button of your choice and and be sure each Aux listed above is set to "Dimmable Headlight".

As with all SELECT decoders there are up to 16 separate horns, 2 separate brake squeals and 2 bells included on this one sound profile! All changeable using CV48.

Sound Slot 9 is a Second Leslie A200#2 with a slightly different Sound Speed. This will allow for more than one in the case of Dual Horns. You can map this on the Horn Button or map it seperately to have 2 distinct horns on 2 buttons. The Sound Speed of each horn can be adjusted for more variety.
