(BLI !!!!! and TD

TOM "N&W is 100% correct in his statement about the BLI Y6b.  The company is in business out to make $$$$$$.  The Y6b is as popular among the general public as is the SP Daylighter, C&O/VGN 2-6-6-6, UP Bigboy, Challengers, etc.  This company is out to make bookoos of sales, not out too please a few society members.  The AHM/Rivorossi Y6b tooling is out of date and therefore is a needed project.  I was about to write the forum, but Tom "N&W" says it best.  I really hate to see all the bitchin when they announce the K's!  If it weren't for a few people working with manufactures we wouldn't have much N&W items at all.  Surely our modeling committee as done so little over the years, I wonder why we have one to all!
I wonder who helped WEAVER O Scale on the just delivered CF and CH cabooses?  Who is helping Railway Classics on the Wabash/N&W dome car [may not happen if they don;t get more help]?  Who helped The NMRA Division 7 on the Virginian RWY 55ton hoppers they have for sale [EVEN with the correct trucks]?  

Tom - Thanks for saying what others wanted to say and felt.

  Listers,


  Bitch,bitch, bitch.

  Quit your bitchin' at BLI and Company over the Y6b.

  Be glad they are doing something N&W.

  I honestly believe that if BLI were to offer a Y6b in Solid Gold with 
  Black Diamonds for the coal load, at the retail price of $ 300.00, 
  many of you would complain and ask them to pay the shipping changes.

  For cryin' out loud.  Quit squawking and do something to help.

  Such as --- Push for the correct Simple/COMPOUND steam sounds need 
  for this locomotive.

  Ask them to make sure such sounds will be included.

  There are several dedicated N&W modelers out there in Model Land who, 
  when asked, do their best to supply photos, drawings, data and 
  whatever else needed to get a new N&W model, be it a steam engine, 
  diesel, caboose or what-have you to the market.

  If you keep moaning and groaning, BLI and these "helpers" both will 
  say to heck with the N&W models and change to something else.

  There are several more N&W models in the works IF you guys don't ruin 
  it for the rest of us.

  PS:  One last thought - thank BLI for doing something right - thank 
  them for the TWO shades of RED on the N&W J models.  Yes, two correct 
  shades of RED. "IN SERVICE RED" and "EXCURSION RED".

  Let BLI know they are appreciated for the good (N&W) job they are doing.

  T
