BLI CF was Re: N&W RPOs M1

Sat Aug 3 14:31:43 EDT 2024

I seem to recall the Broadway CFs being announced and cancelled at a
time when there were a lot of lawsuits amongst the model train
companies over theft of tooling and technology, and the CF project may
have been a victim of this.

 This one never made sense to me. BLI knows how many Y6b's they sell,
and J's. And H2a's. All of this are always sold out, and highly
desired on eBay after the initial deliveries. So it's hard to believe
they are barely selling enough to make them profitable. How could a CF
have been a hard decision to make, considering the rest of their N&W
offerings?

Manufactures cannot get enough reservations. BLI had announced the CF
caboose on their website and did not get enough orders needed to
produce the model. Stephen Rineair

    The Division Point M-1 is hard to find and the price was and still
is astronomical!  
 What a shame one of the favorite N&W cars hasn't been done in
something reasonably priced. Most trains had one and they are so very
distinctive.  
 Same goes for the cabin cars like CF, CG, CH and C2. Spring Mills
Depot announced the cars many years ago but I doubt seriously if
they'll ever do them as it's their eighth car and they STILL haven't
released their 3rd car from around 10-14 years ago. 
 N&W modelers have been grossly ignored in my opinion yet Bowser
CONTINUES to print their boxcars with the "&" rather than spelled out
"AND"!

   Hi, 
Thanks, I'll poke around for M70 kits. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a
real model but a stand-in must do for some equipment you can't really
buy as it's too rare. Lol if anyone wants to get rid of one ... I've
got some K1s and K2s that would be happy to pull them. 
 I've leaned enough through the society to try and get a better
balance of mail/storage vs. express.

  David, If a stand-in will do, you might watch E-bay for a Walthers
7831. It was an M1, but the lapse of 60 or so years has rendered it
"crude" by today's standards. Jim Cochran

  Hi, Thanks for the info. Only done in brass probably means it would
take ten years to even find one, hmmm it looks a bit like the PRR M70.
Perhaps I'll use that as a a stand in. Thanks!  David Baker

  Hi Society,
 Were there any N&W RPOs done in HO? Specifically the M1 or something
that was not a combination RPO?
 Thanks for sharing the knowledge,
 David Baker
