Steam engines from Broadway Limited for 2022

[squirrelhunter]

I'm hoping they will make some of the other western road specific prototypes that they have already done in HO.

They just did a 2nd run of the ATSF Mikado, I think that would sell well as would the UP and ATSF 2-10-2's.

Wow, a Reading T1.......... id bet the house that a Santa fe northern would out sell that 5 fold. Good job BLI.

Idk, The trend of manufacturers seems to be cashing in on the current crop of steam excursion stars. I'm sure they would sell well, especially since 2929 just came back online, but keep in mind two T1s are well on their way back to operation. I'd wager that all it would take is a double headed Reading (and Northern) Ramble and they'll be flying off the shelves.

That said - a 2929 3751 double header up Cajon would also get a ton of attention!

The New Mexico northern is the 2926, but point well taken. Besides, I'd happily settle for the 2929, as it was the last (and only) 2900 class assigned to the Los Angeles Division at the end of steam.

You already have them...

You already have them...

Ewww... that's not even funny.

I'd love to see a Santa Fe Northern from BLI, or Kato. Or Athearn.

I wonder what BLI has in mind for N scale as far as diesels? I'm hoping somebody does a Tier 4 SD70 soon.

All the guys that bought the Lowell Smith Freedom train that model the eastern US need the T1. I'm sure there is a market for it

[btrain]

Given that the old Life-Like/Walthers USRA 0-8-0s go for good money on eBay and that Atlas can't find the tooling for it. The market seems to be ripe for these slick-looking switchers to make a comeback.

A good mechanism 0-6-0 or an 0-8-0 switcher is really needed in N scale.  The Life-Like locomotives from years ago we're good engines, but are hard to find and expensive.

My only experience with BLI is their Pennsy T1. It is a beautiful piece, but in the years I have had it, it has run maybe 5 hours. Bought it in Jan '19, it failed shortly after that, about 3 hours run time. Did all the stuff they recommended and put it away. Now, ir has a Loksound 5 in it, and a new motor on the way because the BLI motor smoked after one lap with the Broadway Limited. So, I guess if time proves the Mikes and Pacifics have some longevity and durability, well maybe.

I do echo the need for some smaller switch loco's. 0-6-0 in anything but USRA. 4-4-2's would be great, especially a Camelback or two! Pre-USRA Pacifics and Mikes would be good, too. A couple of logging mallet's 2-6-6-2 or 2-4-4-2 would be sweet, tank or tender.

I do hope they get their product better than the one I have, then maybe.

No this is one of what I would like:
The Bachmann Northern is past it's use by date!

Ewww...is right, not funny at all....they are such junk; they don't even look anything like the real thing. I don't care how many times Bmann "upgraded" the mechanism (and shell); they need to start all over.

Another engine that would be really great, would be an SP GS-2...unskirted, or maybe both skirted and unskirted, in various SP paint schemes....
