BLI J Pictures Posted and engine is shipping

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

We got the BLI J's in my shop on Tuesday.  Overall they look good.  The 
stripe has a slight purple hue to it.  Excursion 611's have a glossy finish 
and a twin seal beam style headlight.
I'm not sure that they got the whistle just right.  It might just be the 
distortion from the high volume setting BLI ships all there stuff out with. 
It might sound better once the volume is turned down.
The tender has a KD coupler, but the pilot has a McHenry/Bachmann with a 
metal knuckle spring.  Everyone we received had the front knuckle pushed 
back beyond the open position.  This can be corrected by grabbing the trip 
pin and pulling it towards the closed position.  The knuckle should then 
snap into place.  The parts bag has a replacement closed pilot piece with a 
dummy coupler.
