I am considering to buy a BLI Light Pacific 4-6-2.
Doe's anyone have comments about that model?
- How doe's it track on 22" curves?
- Is it a good hauler?
Any comment will be welcomed.

Guy,
I bought one of the first run and I like it. It handles 22" easily and is fine on 18.
As far as a good hauler goes, I can't really comment as I use it to pull 4 or 5 Athearn heavyweights and it does fine on that duty.
The sound is good and it runs smoothly.
I bought the GTW version as the paint was more correct for CN than their CN version. Besides, GTW had a few USRA Pacifics. As I model southern Ontario, my loco is under lease, my railroad, etc., etc.

Like mine, runs very smoothly even when very slow. All my curves are 18", no problems. Has traction tires, so has pulled everything I can get on my small layout. Like the sound too.
Have fun,
Richard
