BLI's  First Come, First Served Policy

We received a notice from Broadway Limited late last week that said everything in the 2016 - 2017 BLI Product Guide may be ordered at any time. We have added those items we have not previously announced to this series of announcements.

Apparently BLI has committed to the build numbers for all the current products; quantities have already been set. Therefore all of the items in their 2016 - 2017 Catalog have a limited quantity and some items may be shorter than usual.  There is no Guarantee of delivery beyond what they have committed to.

We have added all the additional items that we did not have in our database as listed in the items in this announcement. We suggest strongly, if there is something you want, get your order in now! Broadway is no longer allowing customers the usual 30-60 days to decide if they want product before quantities are set.

In the 1920's, the Southern Pacific had a need for powerful locomotives, but found that the new articulated 2-8-8-2's did not work well for them. They were a hazard to the crews when traveling through the long tunnels and snow sheds on their system. The exhaust fumes were capable of blinding and suffocating crew members, so to resolve this problem, the Southern Pacific decided to run in reverse. The next articulated engines from Baldwin were built with the cabs in the forward position. The SP went on to build many classes of these "Cab-Forwards". Broadway Limited Imports has modeled classes AC4 and AC5. Models are available in black and also with the gray boiler. The AC4 and AC5 models are identical in detail. Broadway Limited has modeled these Cab-Forwards before, but these are the first ones available with BLI's state-of-the-art Paragon3 with Rolling Thunder sound and control system.
