<p>Hold on there pard...</p><p>The BLI heavy mike with the 2-8-2 was a FINE engine. I had mine for years with the QSI until it found a good home. I will miss that engine. In mean time I have new engines... sorta.</p><p>The BLI Light Mike is a good product. It has a coupler on the front and rear, should pull pretty well and operate decently.</p><p>BLUELine? Well.... it's got messy. For me I think having to downgrade to a Analog engine with sound is defeating the purpose. I would want a full factory QSI sound and DCC. This... this... blueline... the nuetering, the butchery... </p><p>In fact, Im not satisfied with anything less than full DCC, QSI and sound with good pulling power. If that makes me a spoiled brat with a silver spoon. So what.</p><p>Now I did own the athearn 2-8-2 and it was probably the best smooth runner I have ever seen anywhere in the hobby. But it cannot pull one car. There are those who made such a fine engine work well elsewhere in this forum.</p><p>The BLI Mike was a good engine. Dont get distracted by the house of horrors on the blueline butchery.</p><p>Broadway limited represents some of the very best in repairs as far as trouble free service of onery engines that catch a cold or lose a speaker etc.</p>
