What beauties! I dropped mine and broke the front engine mounting inside the boiler a couple of weeks prior to Christmas. I hope to have it back from BLI within a week or so. :(

Yes, it and my Paragon J1 2-10-4 and a Trix Mikado..all on the same shelf I grabbed onto when I tripped. Down they came. Only the Y suffered near-catastrophic damage. The Trix Mike needed a new power tether/auger connector between the tender and engine that doubles as the drawbar. I got it back today. The J1 only suffered a bent drawbar. I fixed it myself.

Was I stupid in getting myself into the situation where the engines tumbled out of the shelf? Oh yeah. :rolleyes:

Nice looking engine and great sound but the smoke still looks like what came out of my Lionel Hudson in 1955. If they are going to do smoke, I wish they'd make it look like the real thing instead of a guy smoking a cigarette inside the boiler. :)

Crandell, I hope the damage your body was saved from compensates for the loco damage. It takes longer to get your body back from a hospital than an engine form BLI...well, at least most of the time. :D

Well whatever it was he was smoking it sure stinks. :D

Just imagine one of our engines being able to imitate the the real thing.you wouldn't be able to get within a country mile of your housebound layout :D :D :D
 


I had the first run and loved it. I just had to decide East or West. I choose steam from the West. OOOHHH how I miss my Y6. It has the club record of 175 cars on our water line. 3 trips around with out derail, uncoupling, or help is what it takes to make it official. One of the members has old hobby town A/B units that pulled 166.

Those Bowser Challengers and Big Boys could out pull 2 BLI Y6b's. They don't wear out in 3 years either.......
 
Thank-you, but that listing is far out of my price range, I am looking for one for about $300. Please!!! If anyone has one they would sell or knows of someone who would please tell me!
