BLI Blueline 4-8-2

[scribbelt]

 Hello, I am doing my homework on selecting my first freight steam loco and was looking at the BLI Blueline series, now here's my question:

What is the difference between the "Post 1946 version" and the "Standard version" of the PRR 4-8-2 loco?

I printed pics of both locos and I found them to be identical or maybe my eye is not yet trained to spot minute details...

Thank you.

Here's a pretty good article that tells the differences.

Serge,

Forget the PRR.  Buy one of the NYC 4-8-2 Brass-hybrid Mohawks.

Seriously, I have one of the Blueline Niagaras and it operates very nicely.  (Course, I already mentioned that in your other thread.)  I'm sure the PRR Mountain will be fine also.
