Broadway Limited Future Plans?

I must agree with Metroline Red on that BLI should give up on diesels and just do steam. I have pretty many of their diesels and the pulling power just isn't there vs Kato. Maybe if they diecast metal the bodies like they do with their steam it would be a better puller. I'd like to see them run the centipedes again but they must fix the pick. You'd think for a locomotive with 16 driving and pick up wheels it would run great. I have two sets and they suck over turn outs every time.  Give us more steam . You are doing great in the steam dept BLI.

Big problem with the Centipedes was the narrow gauge of all the wheels. So narrow that they had problems traversing Atlas C55 turnouts. At last my example was, but I heard others mentioning the same problem.

Once I corrected the wheel gauge on my Centipedes, they ran great. I had no issues after that, even through the Atlas C55 turnouts.

I would love to see a rerun of the Centipedes, I missed out on the first run. I also like all the special paint schemes BLI does on their modern locos. And now, with the option to get nonsound versions, I'm even happier.

Based on the N-Scale product page ( https://broadway-limited.com/pages/n-paragon4-steam ) it looks like there is a new run of PRR M1a/b coming in 2024.

Hopefully these will fund some new PRR steam.  But it won't be me. I have as many M1a/b's as I'll ever need.  I didn't get an of the recent T1's either for the same reason.  I hope there are lots of others out there that still need them so BLI makes a mint.  I need the hinted at H9/10 and I1sa's.

They have also added the GE AC6000 but I don't remember if that is new or not.

Yep, I see another round of the M1 to be released in 2024.  I already have two, maybe I will pick up another one from this new run.  I also want to pick up a T1 from the current run. 

What we really need are H9/10 and I1's. Those are huge holes in the PRR N scale steam roster.

I am just hoping for some new PRR steam in the next year.

Everyone that bought one of the n scale Y6b's need a auxiliary tender.  They did them in HO but not in n scale.  Emailed about getting them to offer them and heard crickets.
