BLI 6254 RBMN Reading & Northern 425 - Broadway Limited  DCC & Sound Paragon 3 N Scale

For the first time in N scale, BLI is bringing out the USRA Light and Heavy 4-6-2 steam locomotives, commonly called Light Pacifics and Heavy Pacifics!   There were 20 original Heavy Pacifics built in 1919 for the USRA program, and all 20 went to Erie Railroad.  From 1923, numerous copies were built, and many railroads operated similar locomotives.  There were 81 original Light Pacifics built in 1919, and these were delivered to ACL, B&O, GTW, M&O (GM&O), and L&N.  Subsequently, each of these railroads built copies, and several other railroads operated locomotives with similar dimensions and equipment.  The Light Pacifics were limited to 54,000 lbs load per axle, versus 60,000 for the Heavy Pacifics, and this allowed the Light Pacifics to run on most main lines. 

Our Heavy and Light models follow the original designs closely.   Railroad specific variations are not modeled on these locomotives.  Many of the Pacifics used the same 10,000 gallon tender as the USRA Mikados, and our models uses this 10,000 gallon tender. 
 
In this production run, we will offer two locomotive numbers for each prototypical railroad.   We are also building models of several similar 4-6-2 Pacifics in attractive paint schemes, and we will build one Christmas-themed engine painted in red, green, and gold.  Additionally, we will offer one unlettered Heavy Pacific and one unlettered Light Pacific.   Both are painted black, with graphite firebox and smokebox, and are ready to be decorated and run on any railroad you like.

Micro-Trains 993 02 130 TTX Wreck Recovery; N Scale

TTX Weathered Wreck Recovery Pack

TTX used some of their flat cars for general purpose bulk loading of construction equipment, industrial machinery, or in this case, wrecked railcars. These cars had deck mounted pedestals and specialized retainment devices that allow railroads to safely load, transport, and unload damaged railcars and their trucks, increasing the likelihood of repair or component salvage.

Well car will come with modeled physical damage on one end. Resin chocks for trucks will come painted, but not installed. Etched-metal chain tie-downs can be cut to desired length.

Road#173565, 173572, 173576

National Steel Car company was one of three manufacturers enlisted by Trailer Train Company to build their new fleet of 60’ excess height boxcars in 2003.  These heavy-duty cars featured double plug doors giving the customer a 12’ opening to easily load everything from paper products, appliances to consumables.  Referred to as “Super Duty” cars, they join the growing fleet of “Plate F” cars providing higher capacities for shippers looking to streamline their deliveries.  Our model will feature fine mold detail and micro-fine printing, separate end ladders and brake rod detail, etched-metal brake platforms and painted underframe.  The car will also have correct ride height with body-mounted couplers and all-new 36” metal wheels!
