BLMA Trinity Spine Car Review

Even though these are sold out you may expect another run as these are one of the best cars I have ever seen.

Check out this review I did.

Not quite sold out yet.

 

You were a smart man George!!

I saw a set of these at my LHS on Wednesday. These are very nice. If I were a modern modeler I would have probably snapped up a set.

 

Well between these and the GP60M announcement i am being forced into the modern era!!!

 

I must have missed that...who is making the GP60M?

 

Try This

Thanks , Mike

 

Excellent video mike!

A second run would be a good idea! (so that I can buy some)

 

Me too. I'd love to see BLMA try their hand at a steam era boxcar.

 

Great Idea!!

Mike

 

Or how about a full-fledge steam ENGINE!

 

UP 844!
ATSF 3751!

 

I went ahead and relieved you of another set :tb-biggrin:

 

Finally got around to setting these things up.

 

Mark, if you want them, try to get some of this run. Craig said the next run will be significantly higher MSRP due to the higher labor costs and complexity issues. So even if you have to pay a little bit of a premium (hint hint eBay) you might want to go for it. (I don't have any on eBay, btw...lol)

I have to say, I'm considering getting a couple more myself. They are simply magnificent models.

 

So that's what the HO scale version looks like!

(kidding...it looks AWESOME, nice scenery, too!)

 

I found some finally. I couldn't just buy 1 number! 4 was a must!

I just found a LHS that has some of these in stock! And discount too! (Not as cheap as online, but still less than MSRP)! If any of you in the Southern California area are interested, PM me!

 

Woo-Hoo!

Okay, I got me two sets of these babies today at the LHS.




I didn't know adding the hitches (esp. the raised one) was problematic. Too bad there's no documentation in the box. Fortunately, I found this site: http://pwccsub.com/2011/06/26/adding-5th-wheels-to-blma-trinity-spine-cars/ which was totally helpful. One hitch down (or is that up?), nine to go!

 

I have been using Tenax to assemble mine. I like that it gives some time to position parts and seems to bond pretty well on these.
