4 packs, LOL    Brake wheel isn't turning me on either.

It's not supposed to turn you on, it's supposed to turn the brakes on. Silly Chris

Yeah. It looks a bit chunky, even to me.

Street price on these seems to be right around $80 so it's $20 a car.  Not horrible, not great.  But it's having to buy groups 4.  I wonder what BLI's reasoning is?  Were H32's often seen in bunches? I can understand for coal hoppers.

Much as I want to support BLI, I don't need 4 either.  This was an easy choice for me.  I need plenty of H30s, but not 4 H32s.

Now, if a couple SPFs want to split a 4-pack with me, we can talk.

I think the wheels need more tread.

Now we talking, I'm happy to split with you. If I remember correctly, I have both the CK and SK packs on reserve, so I'll have plenty 'fur a splittin' 

Also not a fan of blob brakewheel and blob trucks, but probably standins at this point?

The 4 packs packaging on this is going to really bite them in the a$$.

At best I might need one.  Not sure on the scheme.  Probably gray SK to balance out the red CK H30s I have on order.

I would, but I already did that with members of my local N-Trak club.  But that is the way to go if you want a model of this unusual car but you don't need 4 of them.

I'm down for a CK, if you don't mind.

I've got a 4 pack of each PRR scheme on reserve with BLW.  I'm sure that I don't need all 16 H32's.  I'll probably be willing to split off at least 1 or 2 from each pack.

I have four CK, four SK and four CR oxide reserved.  I may get a CR gray four pack when they hit the street.  I have one photo of a gray CR car in 1986 at Pitcairn, PA if memory serves me correct.  I like the ride height of these cars better than the H30's.  The top of the body mount coupler box appears to be at the same level as the "floor" of the car / lowest cross brace at end of car.  This gives the car its proper ride height.  Only two N scale releases so far, and BLI gets both right.  Thanks.

wow! Looks like some members are buying quite a few of these!

When they come in, I'll post in the trade section what I don't need, I'm only going to keep 2 or at most 3 of the 8 I have on order.

I saw what you did there!
