BLI I-5s in HO ... think this means one's coming in N eventually?

Not for me, thankfully, as I model post-steam NH. But an I-5 with a string of Rapido Osgood-Bradleys would appeal to some people around here.

Yes please!  I have ordered the Hunter Green NH OB cars and an I-5 would be perfect. Besides, the I-5 is one of the best streamlined steam locomotives.

I strongly doubt it, which is why I've started scratchbuilding/kitbashing my own.  BLI has released the model at least four times in HO, never a mention of them considering it for N.

Brian:

the best way to get a commercially produced I-5 would be for you to finish your kitbashed version.  I look forward to seeing it.

Kitbashed locomotive, scratchbuilt tender.  I don't know how quickly I will finish, but the tender core and electronics are done.



Next step is to get the brass wrapper etched.

Maybe one day they will get the shrink gun but hopefully the pennsy engines get it first
