MTH HO PRR K-4: Dead or Alive?

In reference to MTH setting new standards for performance, Trix has set the standard for running quality performance in HO up to now, and it is a high standard. Sound is different story however, and installed sound would have to go to BLI in general. They started the current sound trend when they included sound installed RTR models and continue to bring out more models almost monthly for both BLI and PCM combined companies. The fact that PCM will be using Loksound and not QSI has something to do with their policies and marketing. <br /> <br />One would wonder how many K4's could be sold this year since both BLI and MTH might have sound model K4's to offer. The MTH model is almost a year behind schedule and has not shown up yet, but that might be due to its being so great, on paper. When you actually ship something, they seem to be less than advertised. With the revised schedule, makes you wonder if they had second and third thoughts about bringing in the model. It seems to me they were advertising it the same time as the first run of BLI PRR K4 models. <br /> <br />I purchased the BLI K4 last year, but you can never have too many K4's. The PRR had 425 each K4's at one time. <br /> <br />Speaking of reruns, why did BLI bring in the same numbers on the PRR J1 class engine?? The PRR had 125 each of those, and BLI imported a second run with the same exact numbers as the first run. You can only buy so many models with the same numbers without having duplicates and I decided not to renumber any of those at this time.
