Anyone else read that BLI’s doing New Haven I-5s in HO? It’s going to be in their brass series. I saw that they’re also doing SP AC-12 in G scale brass… $4995 a pop…wow.
Can’t wait!!! Althougth, the $1500 price tag for the brass NH I-5 is a little too rich for my blood. I’ll be looking out for the plastic version ($450).
Its a shame not one was saved from the cutting torch!
Yep. The I-5 is the talk of the NHRHTA’s New Haven Forum. It was there that the website of the importer was posted:

It’s also on Page 41 of January’s Model Railroader.
Not only are they offering a $1550 brass I-5, but also a $450 ($399 if ordered before Feb. 16th) “hybrid” plastic and brass model. All versions with DCC/Sound made by BLI.
Also, the NHRHTA (The New Haven Railroad Historical & Technical Association) is working closely with BLI to get the best models possible, due out in the Summer of '07.
