True, but BLI/PCM does have some things no one else is doing. Example: Reading T-1 In her American Freedom, and the Chessie Steam Specal

In N scale, PCM means either:

"Probably Can't Make"

or

"Promises are Cheaper than Models."

Since PCM's arrival in N scale in 2004 it's made exactly one model of the half dozen it's promised.

Modeling the Rio Grande Southern First District circa 1938-1946 in HOn3.

Thanks for the Emoticon's, everyone.

To set the record straight, I ordered 2 Stealth series Steam Loco's from BLI (I don't own any steam, as you can imagine) Their Steam Loco's I've seen have been pretty sharp. I have not, however been impressed with their modern Diesel output. Detail-wise it ranks, but the paint jobs are in primary colors, not actual railroad colors. BN engines are, er, black and green. CP are red, Conrail are blue, etc. After all that tooling and research, why ruin a model by painting it the wrong color, then charge 10 DPB's for it????
