BLI T1 in about a month

[up1950s]

Factory Direct Trains video mentions the T1 at mile post 3:17 on this new video ad received today https://www.factorydirecttrains.com/paragon3emdf3f7.aspx?utm_source=delivra&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4-7-20&utm_id=39420025

I saw the AFT and the T1 at Red Bank NJ which means I want one if it is AFT paint , and why wouldn't they do that ?

Bli did the reading t-1 in HO scale only, and it has a freedom train livery. Bli did the HO and N scale PRR t-1 in prr only, but that one never pulled the AFT.

That video is old.  It was posted on YouTube in June 2018 so the T1 mentioned is the PRR T1 which was already released, not the Reading T1 of AFT fame.

They must be recycling the video because of the next run of F3/F7 is due any time now.

What I find interesting is that FDT has a 1¢ Pre-order and in the steam section has listed more 2-8-2 Light and Heavy Mikado's due for May 2020.  The BLI site's "Expected Product Delivery Schedule" doesn't have them listed, just the F3/F7/PA that are due over the next month or so.

Thanks guys . That was like a new roller coaster ride , only to go over the hump and see it ends in a flaming full septic tank .

Sorry, Richie.      A Reading T1 would be a nice addition to N Scale.

I work on Ken every chance I get to get BLI to do the Reading T1.  He always says they should get to it eventually.  Let them know you want one and maybe we'll get one.

Doesn't fit my era, but a Reading T-1 in AFT livery I could go for

I would love a Reading T1. Even the PRR did when they had a locomotive shortage in the summer of 1956 and leased a few for the Buffalo line.

A T1 would definitely speed up the removal of the TTRAK modules currently sitting on my coal country layout!

I know as soon as i finish my custom RDG T1 with the 3D shells and castings i been working on BLI will put one out.  I was asking for one over the years but it hasn't happen yet.  I'm from Reading so they are special to me. Seen 2100, 2101 and 2102 in the roundhouse 1966 before they were sold and the house taken down.

BLI has on the Product Delivery Schedule page that a new run Of PRR T1's is due in August.  Previously it was only listed on the T1 product page (for July).

Also coming is a new run of the Cryogenic Tanks.
