Hi, Jerry

Can you provide a link to the prices or where it is on the BLI site? I have preorders for the Sharknose and I was thinking about the H10 or I might just gamble and see what price MB Klein sets for it. Do they have deadlines for the preorders or has it already passed?

I wonder what they're going to ask (MSRP) for the S2 Turbine coming up?

The price increase scenario is certainly a well trod subject here across ALL manufacturers. I remember BLI's streamlined NYC Hudson was delayed so often that it went through three or four increases before it hit the streets.

Thanks, Ed

I got the notice from Toy train heaven...the H10 is now 449.99 up $50.   The SW1500 is now 249.99.  these are HO scale up $20 or $30.

Jerryl,

Is this the one you are talking about? If it isn't, enjoy the video:

I didn't see anything about a price increase. I don't know.

I got an email from Toy Train Heaven about the price increases.

They don't mention the Reading T-1. I believe, as with most like businesses, if the prices increase on a few models, they will increase with all...eventually. I don't own any BLI yet, but was looking to get a Reading T-1 as my first. I might be reconsidering that one.
