That's consistent with what my rep contact at BLI said would be released in N scale this year.  The only other one not yet announced is the Reading T1.  I hope that will still be released this year.

Surprised at the PRR Atlantic in HO.  If BLI ever ports all their PRR steam to N, Victor might finally get his Atlantic!  :)

Man. I hope for my wallet’s sake that the T1s are next year. I don’t need a Y6b but I have a soft spot for them so I’ll pick up one. I’ll need 3-4 T1s when the time comes.

I saw the production sample for the Atlantic on Facebook, it's quite a sexy loco.

I am in for a Y6 and a T1.  It's a good time for Eastern road steam power.

I don't care that I don't have an HO scale layout anymore, I'm getting one of those Atlantics. Maybe two.

Aye, and any show or club would gladly let it high step around their modular layouts with a nice consist of P70's.

OK.  Know you Reading folks want the T-1.

But . . . how about a C&O T-1???? ;)

The BLI rep told me that when they do the PRR J1, they are going to do a C&O T-1 at the same time.

Will they be doing the Reading T1 in AFT? Am I thinking of the right locomotive? I mean, if they are doing fantasy schemes, they'd be foolish not to...

They did all the prototype schemes in HO so I am sure they will do them in N.  I'm in for about 6. Half in freight and half in rail rambles.

Born in Reading, PA. Seen 2100, 2101 and 2102 in the roundhouse 1966 not long before they tore it down. I must have T1's

The video of the Livestream today had terrible audio, but I did not see a sample of the Y6 shown.  I was hoping to see a preproduction sample.

Mike, if you go to their YouTube page and find their video on Feb 5th for the USRA Mike promo, you will see a sample of the Y6 at around the 4 min mark.  There's a lot of 3d printed parts since they're still working on the tooling.  Pretty impressive.

Thanks for that heads up, I had a look at the video, that prototype looks great.
