Normally I do not get exciting about blowout sale emails, but these prices are actually the lowest I have seen:

BLI E7 w/ DCC/Sound - $100.
BLI T1 w/DDC/Sound - $255.
Rapido Osgood Bradley coaches - $41.41.

No affiliation with FDT and this is the first time I have bought from them.

Same for me with Red Stripe Q E7's.

My order has shipped within about an hour of purchase.  That is pretty good service.

Oh man, 255 for the t1. Bli was selling refurbs for 249. If I only had the money right now. Build a house or buy a T1? Do I really need that kitchen faucet? Man eliminating that extra window would cover that cost....

Ordered a C&NW E6! Always loved the look of the E6, and nearly pulled the trigger on one for about $160 a week or two ago.

Thanks for the tip!

I've wanted to get one of the undec CSX AC6000CWs to paint in SP Speed Letting, but I would want the Non-Steerable trucks instead. Is it any to put a Kato truck in these or can one order the other trucks from BLI? The order page for BLI seems like they don't like to do that, but I was curious before I bit on the undec.

I find the low ditch lights on the versions they did to be completely unlike SP when the SD70Ms, Dash 9s, and AC44s all had deck ditch lights and I think that would have been the same way had they ever got the three AC60s that were supposedly ordered before the UP merger.

Thanks for the tip.  I've been watching T1's on ebay.  $255 is a very good deal.  Very tempting...
$100 for E units is a steal.  I don't have a need for more E units though.

I've bought from FDT before and met Joe at Trainfest.  Good guy. 
I bought a Bowser cabin car that was damaged and he made things right.

Maybe I should get the t1. I should get the new release of the super chief also and pull it with the t1 and shock both spf's and efm's (is that what we call Santa fe fans?) alike  :trollface:

Very good prices on some MP wood chip cars, but since I’m modeling the desert Southwest, they’d just burst into flames 🔥 during the summer.
