Broadway releases another winner!

We just received, direct from Korea, the long awaited BLI EMD HO Switchers. I suspect many model railroaders shared our anticipation for a Switcher with sound. We immediately unpacked the lot and began to run a GN version.

The little brute ran smoothly and pulled comparable to other switchers available.

The detail is nice and there is plenty of good fidelity sound for such a small package. QSI and BLI did a good job of integrating the sound in the tight quarters.

The system reset button is easy to access on the upper hood covered by an easy to remove hatch. The loco is also easy to disassemble for lube and maintenance.

BLI is offering many roadnames in the NW2, SW PH I and II for the EMD switchers so most model railroaders should have an option to get one ... though don't wait too long.
