[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by steveblackledge</i> <br /><br />Do you have a fleet of older Athearn equipment like i have, my buget is limited so i tend to buy blue box kits from Athearn which i like, but i want to get some of the BLI action. The only way i can afford this is to sell some of my collection which is hard to do, my loco roster was for the chop, it went on Ebay and raised a good return so to calm my nerves i rang my friends at Trainworld and ordered my first BLI, an NW2,,, if it's as good as they say i'll buy a BLI SD40-2, to accompany it,, is one BLI loco with sound worth a handfull of other loco's, time will tell <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Most of the BLI products are really great to own. I would encourage you to hear them and buy one if you can, but you might save money by waiting for some of the sales they seem to be having. <br /> <br /> I normally purchase the models when they come out, but now I will wait until some of the dealers want to get rid of the shelf engines and buy more of the latest releases. The N&W A class was on sale for less than half price recently when BLI needed money to bring in the latest items, read SD40-2 and the switcher. That price break was used to get rid of many of the engines they had in stock. <br /> <br />You might be able to get one with big savings to buy something else if you watch the sales closely. <br /> <br />
