#1429 was built in 1918 by the PRR's Junaita Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She was scrapped by 1957.

Vincent, thanks. I show that see was actually sold for scrap in September 1959, but she certainly wasn't in active service after 1957 and possibly even before then. Cheers, Kevin

This is one of their best real life models. The locomotive being so famous and often visited, major deviations would really show. Fixing the three glaring flaws is easy even for the RTR modeller. Filing away the tank mold (which is super obvious) and respraying just that isolated part of the model Adding the ladder next to the doghouse Adding superdetail under carriage pieces to enclose and hide the spring. Adding a price of black styrene to cover the visible circuit board.

great review. I think some of the others that do review's should watch this one and take notes. I have a BLI steam locomotive and don't care for their chuff sound and it doesn't appear to have gotten any better.....just my 2 cents.

I agree James. The chuff sound is still weak.

Put Loksound in it. I removed all the decoders from my bli locomotives and replaced them with Loksound. Had too many problems and poor sound.

Nice engine. Thanks for the review. I just wish that BLI could get their sound quality up to the level of the best aftermarket decoders. Paragon 3 lags behind WowSound, Tsunami2, and even LokSound for that matter.

Looks nice. I have a couple BLI UP steames and am generally satisfied. Now what we need is to get BLI to do some more "western" steam. A UP or CB&Q 2-8-2 would a wonderful addition to the line :-)

Agree, I could use a CB&Q 2-8-2 for when I run my Joint Line with 1950s power. I've got several BLI steam engines and am happy with all of them. Cheers, Kevin

Vinny, thanks for the feedback. I've always been a fan of Pennsy too. They had lots of neat and unique steam and diesel engines. I had a Pennsy layout in N scale for a while too. I was debating about doing my N scale alyout as Pennsy again, but in the end decide on a modern theme. Cheers, Kevin

I'm trying to decide between a paragon 3 M1B or L1s... which model do you personally like better or think is more smoother and easier to operate?
@Modeltrains
6 жыл бұрын
That's a hard decision because I really like them both. Both run smooth and sound great. If you're only going to get one I'd go with the M1b because it was a dual use locomotive so you can pull either freight or passenger trains with it. The L1s only pulled freight. Hope this helps. Cheers, Kevin

I really like the new Paragon 3 locomotives. In particular the idle sounds and chuffs also differ from model to model. I am looking forward of a new J1 release with it. But first, BLI needs to make an update on the body moldings. Add more details and add separate pipes instead of mold them in the boiler. It is time to BLI install sprung axles in all driving wheels. Also, those two annoying openings for tabs bellow of its cab is not suitable for a $400 engine.

I'd like to know in how many more decades will it be til the crew look like humans. This is one sorry lookin' engineer and fireman !! The caps on the heads of these guys (and will we ever see gal? ) and same with Bmann and others, are so stupid looking; too high on their forehead !! I know, replace them with separate brand of miniature figures !! But why put such bad ones in in the first place ? It'd look better with an empty cab and my imagination than seeing this crap !.... But the engine looks great, otherwise....M
