BLI is supposed to offer the H series 2-8-0 in the Pennsy lines, but that’s the only completely new one in my memory. They have been producing quick runs of the old favourites, but I see that some models are getting delayed once again…such as the UP 4-12-2. It was slated for September for many months, but now appears in February.

The latest new steamer for BLI is their USRA Pacific. I know nothing about it.

The GN S2 is about 8 years behind schedule now, lol

Waited about 6 years for the BLI USRA Pacific, runs well, I like it

I e-mailed BLI about the S2, it will be a Hybrid and will be released SOON, stay tuned I was told.

Don’t hybrids cost more than the normal Die-cast ones? I personally would like one to have some sort of “Steam Excursion” on my BN. AFAIK, there isn’t a non-brass fairly accurate 4-8-4 northern for either the SP&S, NP, GN, or CB&Q.
