QUOTE: Originally posted by selector I have only plastic locos, and they all run and look great. I know that everyone and their dog has marketed a K4, and they are everywhere. But I happen to love their brutish firebox and that cast pilot with the generator on the front of the smokebox. I also would like an all-metal, but affordable, engine that will rip the track up from in front of it due to its tractive effort. Are any of you thinking of getting the BLI K4, or have you already ordered one? What are your thoughts?
