Hi all. I want to add a PRR 2-8-0 model to my HO fleet, bringing my total to two locomotives hehe. However I've heard a fair number of horror stories about BLI locomotives. The fact I live in Holland makes importing them also much more, as I can find brass in the 150 to 200 range, and then source a decoder, can motor, and so on here. I don't mind doing the work on a loco- it's part of the fun for me. I just want to get one which will run trouble free. Anyone have advice or experience with BLI? Thanks, Amanda
Hi Brenner, Thanks much! This one is for an HO project though. I may have a go at an NYC Connie in N.
Look at Howies Trains in Pennsylvania. He has several Key Imports Custom Series PRR 2-8-0s in the $5-600.00 range. You won't get that kind of accuracy from ANY plastic model.
