Engi1487 Hello everyone, I have good news. I emailed BLI yesterday, inquiring when we would see product photography of their new run of HO Brass Hybrid PRR S2 Turbines (In Paragon 4)in this new tuscan red fantasy scheme they plan to do along with the other three versions in basic black. They said they would before the dealer preoder due date being Sept.22nd in less then a month, and linked a pdf showing artwork of a locomotive. I thought it was the same S2 fantasy scheme art I have already seen, but it was in fact artwork of their PRR 4-4-6-4 Q2 locomotive in a tuscan red fantasy scheme. This was quite the suprise! I asked if they got the rights to the design back (as they had lost the rights to the company that designed the model for them in the first place) and said they where doing it on their own. It will be identical to the preious versions but with mechanism differences.This is a locomotive that has been requested for a new run for a while now (not sure how many runs where done before, and when the last one was?) and this shows they plan to do it again. Don't know if it will be done in plastic, die-cast or as a brass hybrid so we will have to keep watch for more updates and previews of tooling samples. Its not avaiable too look at on their site at the moment of posting this. Screenshot Of Artwork PDF Screenshot Of Email Between Me & BLI
