Hi All, Here is a BLI M1b I just finished weathering for a customer. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/billlane/BLI_M1.jpg I think it "dusted" up rather nicely! (:->)
This is my first up close and personal I have had with a Broadway Limited loco. I wish I had $1.00 for every email from the various train email lists I almost read that were ranging from being mildly unkind to completely thrashing BLI products, so I could buy some! Yes, there are a few small inaccuracies like the modern boiler markers when it is not modernized, and the tender slope sheet is in oxide red. But after spending a few hours with this M1 today, I don't see how you can get a nicer piece for the money. Is it as nice as a Key or Challenger model? No. Is it $1000.00 +? NO! For sub-$300.00 this is one nice machine. I wait and hope for the day when BLI makes something (Hopefully PRR) in S so they will be truly appreciated!
