Yea, things have been going way too good for you SPF's; the next one ought to be a 3751 or a 3800, like they do in HO. They already have all the documentation they need :P
Oh, and now this! It's just not fair....

No, things have been going too good for us for that to happen. Watch them do a K4.

If they do, I'll buy one of each pre-war road number without hesitation.

As for the signals, all I can say is, "Supreme Giggity."  It had to be NJI, though.  I'm not too impressed with their track record for detail in N, but I'll hold out optimistic hope.

You guys are not going to believe this.

The next N scale steam from BLI will be...
...
...
THE T1!

I emailed them, thanking them for following through on the M1, and casually asked "what's next?"
They said it would be announced late May/June.

No, I said "Ed's Law."

After my conversation with Ken Silvestri in Sacramento, that doesn't surprise me one bit. It's a unique locomotive that has some promise to appeal outside of the SPF community. I really hope it does well!

For me, if they do the production version with the partial skirting, I'll pick one up. As much as I love that locomotive, I already have one, and I really can't justify a whole roundhouse worth of what was such a rare, short-lived locomotive. Now if they do an I1, I'll buy one of each road number!

The upside for those of us who model some railroad other than the Pennsy is that at $54 per signal and with T1s coming, the PRR modelers will be filing for bankruptcy before the end of the year, and the manufacturers will have to go to plan B.

I think we should start a pool on which one of these guys is the first to own 53 T1s.

T1,  a beautiful loco which I have no use for.  An I1 or H8/9 would be my desire. 

P.s.  Did you see photo of their upcoming P70s in HO.  Nice.

Maybe they'll do PRR T1 No. 5550 for you modern-era guys.   ;)

Let's just hope they put a working coupler on the front end,  my only complaint with the M1.

set up speed tables on 3 this afternoon, all very smooth and nearly matched through their speed range. 
Had to reign in the top end 119+ is a little too fast.

Who else turned down the volume?

I'll probably buy one because its Pennsy, but would have preferred an I1sa or H9/H10 or even a J1. 
The J1 would probably be a good starting point for several other RR's.  Oh well!

 If this keeps up I'm going to have to add on to the layout so I can fit in a real roundhouse !
