Edit: Whoops, I guess this should be in the product discussion forum.  My bad!

Just watched it again. I thought the sound was a little off just before the 1:00 mark. Anyone else notice the loco running the other way behind the freight cars?

Looked like a Centipede. Sounded like it too.

Speaking of which, when has the deadline been extended too?

With the video appearing to run at 1 frame per second might the audio be less than true . Then again not every whistle sounds like a UP ALCo super tea kettle . Anybody have a recording of a M1 whistling a happy tune ?

From where this project started (remember the pre-reservation meter?) to now is almost unbelievable. It appears to be a good runner, but why no Pennsy freight cars in the video?    Close ups from the convention would be nice. Glad I got two on order, maybe I'll get more...? Thanks for seeing this through BLI.

I am confused as to what versions they are offering, and I do not believe their website is clear.  All the previous photos have shown a "modernized" loco with the generator and headlight in reversed position and a cast pilot (generally, but not exclusively post 1945).

The sample in the video has the headlight and generator in original position and a step freight pilot (generally, but not exclusively pre-1945).

I have no idea what I ordered.  Fortunately I can bend Ken's ear in Sacramento this weekend.

I got around that by ordering two road numbers of the M1b, just to make sure I was getting post-war.

You and me both. First stop on Saturday.

This one is tempting based on my love of n-scale steam, my fascination with having dcc with sound and despite the fact it is not Baltimore and Ohio.
I received the video directly from BLI because I follow them and have some of their E-6s, E-7s and E-8s.

              Wozzers ! After along time as quoted in the short film (how many years really?) I will finally have one. Hey I liked the modern freight cars complete with a Northern Pacific caboose that were  being pulled. Nate Goodman (Nato) "Closet Pennsy Fanzee" Salt Lake,  Utah.

Got me a little looksie today. Actually held it in my hands.



A very hot little model. Felt nice and hefty, so it should make a fine addition to the roster. No answers from Ken about which part numbers will be "beautified" and which won't.

At that price, they should at least have more separate boiler pipes.
