Shark B unit to be made by original A builder

Looks like a Shark B unit will be made by the original builders of the A unit. Saw this over on the UK G scale site.

I signed up for one, I got the A when they did it.

Getting a B unit will complete your train. That is good news.

Some of us are still dreaming, and hoping, that Mark will eventually sort out the design challenges with printing a shark, and we will be able to get our own shark A units.

Anyone here get an A unit besides me? They are moving on the project, might post if you are interested in a B unit. If you missed the A, maybe you would want to get the B unit in case an A comes up. Be about $400 I guess. Etched grills also, like on the A.

I thought a few people on here had gotten the Shark A unit, guess I was wrong?

Some updates on the Shark B unit have been posted.:

Sounds good on the B unit. Thought a few on this form had bought the A? Guess not, no posts. I got this info:

Shark guy is making progress, The original etchings and castings have been sourced, plus going over some bits. Hopefully he should have something for sale very very shortly as he has now pretty much got it all in the bag! He has said though that orders are very low.

Thought about buying Jerry but passed due to price. Later RJD

Yeah, crazy, but I had the A unit, figured with the B they would sell better, whenever that time comes for me or my family.

Jonathan has made great progress on the Baldwin Shark B unit kit. Real nice frame comes with it and you can get it for your A unit, if you never made it. I have a kit on order.
