BLI Watch

[reinhardtjh]

I spoke with the BLI sales reps at the Springfield show.

Centipedes are on the way to the distributors.

M1s are currently in production. IIRC he said they will be delivered in March 2106.

2106...  Hopefully that's a typo...   If not I may cancel my pre-orders.  I don't think my great-great-great grandchildren will even know what a train is, much less a PRR M1.

(in spite of the deafening flange noises that are all part of the "Horseshoe Curve experience").

Ugh... that sound. Imagine it waking you up at 6am after being up drinking until 3... not exactly my "best" railfan experience.

LOL!  A Freudian slip of my fingers.  How appropriate.  Post corrected.

Better call Orkin. Centipede infestation in progress.

A pair of the yes-it-almost-happened UP version are so, so tempting. But alas, I am waiting for the bill to come on a trio of UP S-2s, and my favorite Shapeways vendor to release his C855 shells. There's an embarrassment of N-scale riches in my corner of the world.

2016 Amherst show reports indicate the M1a/b's are in production and really scheduled for March.  Still, unless they get them out before Chinese New Year it will really be April or May.  Chinese New Year officially starts February 7th and lasts until the 13th.  But traditional dates are Jan31st (New Year's eve) through Feb 22nd.

Got my shipping notice from BLW for the Centipedes earlier today.

If true this is going to put a dent on the wallet.

To bad they have to put sound in them

[reinhardtjh]

It would seem BLW might have jumped the gun.  There is no notice of the AC6000 in N-scale or Rolling Thunder on the Broadway-Limited web site.  The delivery schedule page still has the Feb 4th date on it.

Very much true

AC6000 looks like Fall 2016, by the flyer posting.
