It does make you wonder how much of a bigger market HO is over N.

Anyway, the NdeM one looks great.

At the risk of pushing the envelope...

BLI can go outside and play hide and go f*** themselves.

That's all I've got to say about that.

They announced a PRR M1a/b in N scale five years ago, and keep saying "there's not enough demand to make it."  Then they offer Centipedes in HO.  That's like smacking us N scale Pennsy guys across the face with their jimmies.

Obviously the majority of HO modelers have 48" radius curves designed specifically for Q2s and Centipedes. Hey, at least it isn't another challenger!

Not to mention how their accuracy and quality seems to have gone downhill.  Starting with those horrible SD40-2s with the chicken wire grills and the 567 prime mover...

Agreed.  I've followed the BLI forum for a bit and can't argue with the sentiment.  They claim they only got 25% of the pre-orders needed, but can't tell us how many that was.  I refuse to believe they expect to sell more Centipedes than M1s.

Now is that a nice thing to say?

Why don't you go sit in the corner and stay there until you can play nice with the rest of us?
