Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.

QUOTE: 2. Are there aftermarket parts that could be added to bring it up to detailing spec? Or, are we talking molding issues that just aren't quite as detailed on the Powerhouse series? (Extreme example: A Tyco 2-8-2 vs. an brass 2-8-2. The original mold is not very detailed and accurate.)

QUOTE: Originally posted by tstage Ray, Just read your post after posting my correction. Thanks! [:)] That's VERY helpful information and what I was looking for. One queston though. Wouldn't the boiler size on the BLI heavy Mike be larger than the light Mike? Tom
QUOTE: Originally posted by tpatrick Tstage, what's missing from the heavy Mike may depend on your prototype. I model Erie and I would like to buy BLI's offering, but I can't because Erie used either Elesco or Worthington feedwater heaters on their N classes. BLI offers only injectors. I confess to being a rivet counter, but feedwater heaters are much larger than rivets. They really form the character of the engine's appearance. Take a good look at your prototype (if you follow one) and see if BLI meets your needs. Tim
