[quote user="BRAKIE"] BLI/PCM has had a poor QC track record in the past as well as many detail errors/paint on their locomotives..That will hurt their pre-orders as modelers are "gun shy" of ordering sight unseen.Now a lot of the club members are happy with their BLI locos but,will not pre-order them because some had problems with their Hudsons and SW7/NW2s.[/quote]That is one reason I sold my first run NW and replaced it with a second run set that SEEMS to run ok, without the problems that plagued the first run (Front truck and reversed wiring)Im not TOO picky about the paint when the engine hits the 3% grade it's time to earn it's pay and am concerned that Brass is the ultimate goal of this company.My dealers do not charge me until the thing actually ships. However Im suffering apathy and enough is enough. Make life a little easier on everyone. More fun to go to the store or online and actually buy what will ship THAT week... not wait a year.To the poster about the selective decisions on A and B unit pricing, I offer a supportive problem related to the E units. Apparently I can either buy an A-A for the B&O or go to Proto and get a Dummy B to go with the A and spend another 200 dollars to equipt the B unit with power, dcc and sound. I may just do it but first things first....I would have bought all of that months ago almost instantly or via pre-order... except that Im a firm believer in all locomotives serving as it's own power, DCC and sound platform with each unit pulling it's share of the load. Not a A unit towing a 10 pound sled before the rest of the darn train.Good call on the emailing. I finally unsubscribed because the Hobby Shops wont like to order, the discounters have the thing half off and the website is never updated to get rid of the gauge, MSRP pricing etc.Now if anyone bothers to research my postings on the forum, they will find that I have been faith ful to BLI from the beginning ever since they got back into HO steam in a big way with that Hudson. I have several of thier engines and think enough of them to actually budget an upgrade of the QSI chip to get Back EMF (THANKS for nutting lawsuiters!) I oughta charge them the 30 dollars per unit at the court.It's been a long road and a enjoyable one. But if this is what the future holds, I definatly dont want to be a part of it.Especially as I have said before, other manufactors consistently produces and makes availible a variety of engines on time, on schedule. and without much fanfare. Kinda hard to enjoy an item when the Marketing team has beat the dead horse long before it arrives anywhere.
