I run a few Rivarossi Y-6b's from the 1996 re-release, and I was satisfied with them because at the time they were the best non-brass articulateds around. Then a few years ago LifeLike produced the Heritage Y-3's and we had a much higher level of detail than had been previously available outside of a $2,000 brass articulated. I promptly added these to my roster. Now the BLI Class A's have the detail and sound. I dug deep and got one, and I can't believe the difference the sound makes! I immediately ordered a second one, and when it arrived with a detatched crosshead guide fouling the running gear, BLI paid for the UPS return and had a replacement unit back to me within ten days! Not bad service at all! I guess I'm a happy purchaser of these units. Now I need to get sound installed in the other N&W steamers I run before BLI releases the sound-equipped Y-6b I hear they're working on. Sure, I wi***hese locos cost half what they do, but all things considered, I am willing to live with the price especially when compared with brass, which most of us cannot afford.
