BLI Paragon 2 SW7 Body Switch?
Posted by mobilman44 on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 3:25 PM

Hi,

I've got a BLI Paragon 2 Illinois Central SW7 (phase 2) HO loco.   Of course it is DCC and sound equipped, and frankly its pretty nice.

Given that my layout is primarily ATSF (with IC run through rights), I was wondering if there are any Santa Fe switcher bodies out there that could use the BLI chassis.

Anyone have any experience with this ???

Thank you!

 

ENJOY  !

I don't think the BLI switcher has ever been issued in ATSF, but you might be able to buy an undec shell from them directly. As I recall ATSF switchers were black with silver or white lettering and striping - which I suspect is available in decal form from Microscale.
