Yep, I really want a number of I1s for my transition Era layout.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

I agree and I think most PRR modelers would have the same buying pattern. But if an H came first, I wouldn't be too upset.
Never argue with idiots; they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I hope they do an H series loco. Not enough small to medium steam available in N in my opinion. If they do an H, I know I'm in for a few!

There were 125 J's and they stayed out west. There were nearly 600 I's and they were pretty much system wide. If BLI releases the J, I'm getting one. If BLI releases the I, I'm getting 2 or 3, maybe 4. We know BLI marches to their own drum, so I'm expecting the J first...

Yeah, but this type of logic has NEVER driven model development, sadly.

By this logic, we should have four different manufacturers making the H8-10 series instead of the GG1.

At least run a poll asking what product modelers would most likely purchase. Scale train just ran one and one was ran for the F&C PRR project car. Just don't have a pre-reservation meter, lol.

I am just hoping they continue producing new PRR steam in N.

I would suspect that when they do the J it will coincide with the C&O T1.

I guess us B&O guys are the red headed step children. They have a Y6b, make an EL-5. If they make a 2-10-2, how about a Big Six. Bmann made the EM-1 and it sold well. At least two runs with 8 rd#’s.

I just hope they announce a new model, not just another run of a loco they have already produced.

This is what they did in HO. I guess if it was profitable, they could try the same strategy in N.

B&M Berkshire. A very unique locomotive (which also served the SP and Santa Fe) was just announced in HO.

Just saw that, it is an interesting choice.  Good to see BLI producing less common locomotive models rather than reruns of the standard, popular models.

I would love to see a B&M coffin feedwater heater Berkshire in N scale!  Hopefully with see-through drivers (and as Stealth version).

It was good to see in Reno the Reading T1 has see-through drivers.

Hopefully BLI got the message, and we won't see any more "blind drivers".
