BLI J pictures posted

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

One thing I noticed is that the tender coal bunker extensions are not on this model.  That is one detail they have left off, probably because I don't think they were on the J's in regular service.  I'm not complaining about it though, just noticed they're not there.  
 
As for the water tender, I like the model they have.  I never rode behind 611 with the striped tender.  I've got photos of it with that one, but me personally, I never really liked that version of it.  I never could get used to the tuscan red water tender either that was used in the last year of excursion service.  (Just to note, I never rode behind 611 by herself either, she always had some form of diesel assistance with her on the Bristol trips.)
 
Anyway, I like the model, and water tender just as they are, and I plan on getting them both!

the early version is going to follow.  Just some more info to pass
along from BLI.

The thing looks real good to me.  Its the way I remember 611.  Of course, I'm only 34, so I don't remember it in revenue service.  My era was the excursion era, so a model of 611 in excursion dress is right up my alley!
 
(Now, if I can only get a certain NWHS board member to make me a model of coach 539 to go with it!)

Broadway Limited has posted pictures of their upcoming J on their website. It looks really good, better than the Bachman J.
