BLI Watch

[bbussey]

I'm just happy they are releasing singles on the NYC boxcar.

I'd go for an AC6000 in Union Pacific. Love the big radiators!

Who else would like to see BLI bring the AC6000 they did in HO to N-scale

Only the M1a/b slipped.  It's not just N scale, the HO guys are bemoaning the PRR L1 slipping

When we reach November, BLI will say "coming summer 2016"

What with the economic problems going on in China, hopefully your wanted BLI stuff will be built and shipped before manufacturing there gets hit.

Always glad to hear things will be later than expected. Some of us are not rich and can use the extra time.

I asked Pete at BLW and they are still taking preorders.

[carlso]

So, many of our US manufacturers use Chinese plants.

Any chance that the big explosion that, wiped out many shipping containers, could have wiped out goods bound for the US model RR market ? ? ? That would be our luck.

Can you imagine doing that job for 10 years now?

Tianjin serves the north, I don't think thats where most of the train factories are.

Did you all see the parking lots of hundreds, if not thousands, of new cars destroyed in the explosion and fires?  The video of the explosion is unreal.  Terrible.

Very sad...    The violence of the explosion reminds me of the Baltimore "train hits dump truck" of several years ago where the sodium chlorate tank caught on fire and blew up.

I'm not worried about the M1 slipping because they have finalized all the tooling. It's just when the factory can fit it in that is the question.

I would love to have a bright future CSX AC6K it two. Love those engines.

Tianjin is the industrial supply hub. Think Tall/Wide loads and gas shipments. That is why do many cars were destroyed. Few if any of those containers are export bound.

I feel for the people there. There will never be an accurate count of the dead.
