AN AFFORDABLE APPORACH TO HIDDEN SWITCH MACHINES COMPATIPLE WITH ALL ATLAS TURNOUTS. EASY TO INSTALL AND IF USED WITH A CIRCUITRON "SNAPPER" IT'S A SURE FIRE WAY TO REDIRECT THOSE TRAINS.

Since I couldn’t find a fuel tender that would work well with a GELT Turbine, I saw the UP tanker and decided to give it a try. It fits right in!!! Well done!!

The model railroad club I belong to uses the FreeMo rules for modular layouts. I found about a dozen tank cars that I refurbished and plan to run at the Greenberg Show in August but I have mostly steam engines and didn't feel right about pulling a load of oil tank cars with one so I purchased this engine. It ran smoothly right out of the box and I'm in the process of breaking it in to use in August.

The decoder works great! I used it to convert an old Atlas ho dc turntable into dcc. It turns forward and backward.

Beautiful engine! Runs smoothly, sounds great! Very pleased with it! Have not tried the smoke. Just don’t think it ever looks realistic enough.

Runs great, sounds great! And definitely can’t beat Factory Direct Trains for price and availability!

Smart looking fully operational HO N&W Water Tower with great choice of colour. Always changing my lay-out and getting more into the past time of steam with fully digital operation. Previously built some water towers, but this is a top of the line addition, received without any shipping damage. Thanks, Joe.

This is a magnificent model worthy of display. The details and workmanship are far beyond what I expected when I saw it in the website. I look forward to actually looking at it closer to really take it all in.

Joe,
Just took down my n scale train layout to relocate in a bigger area. At this point just gathering parts and more track, buildings and train cars and engines.

Great packing and quick delivery to the other side of the world, my go to train shop.
The only issue is that of BLI quality control as there is a couple of the hand rail supports missing and they are not in the box. See photo

I used to watch the Rock Island trains pass by my grandparents farm in north Missouri. My brother had a Marx set with
a red and black Rock Island F-unit as we grew up (I wasn't allowed to play with it)
Now I have my own unit. Nanny, Nanny, boo hoo.

The BLI EMD GP30 is a welcomed addition to my stable of Santa Fe engines. Modeling in the mid 1960's to mid 1970's and the engine fits in perfectly. Runs smoothly right out of the box. Was able to reset engine configurations easily. ANd looks and sounds great when pulling a line of freight cars.

They look and run great , but they would be even better with the matching locomotive that has been on back order for ever . I will post a video as soon as I recieve my locomotive . Thanks !

These are "the" switch controllers most people use on their layouts for controlling various electrical functions for accessories, lights, turntables, almost anything. They are durable and come in different configurations for specific needs..Highly recommended!

I haven't had a chance to hook it up.But a person I know has one and he showed me how it works.I was amazed. That is why I purchased one for myself. I think Broadway Limited makes one of the best items.

First time with a silent BLI locomotive. Enjoy it just like the sound equipped but gives me some time to later upgrade if I wish. Easy to add a new decoder. Runs smoothly and the paint is crisp.

I've always operated steam, except for a few small diesels. I thought it would be nice to have at least one large diesel and I must say I have been thoroughly pleased with this model. I am familiar with Tsusammi sound, but this one passes all I have experienced. Thanks for a great model.

All are very nice and run smoothly. The interiors are very nice. The business car is exceptional. Nice clear paint and the decorating in the interior makes the car much more prototype. It runs very smoothly, and the lighting and finger touch control are very nice. It is easy to add figures to really make the interior come alive.

We’ll, I ordered this without looking at the scale. I work in HO. Fortunately I have a friend who very much admires the Pennsy T1 and wanted to have an N scale model of it. He bought it from me and is completely delighted with it. I’ll try to pay better attention in future, because I don’t have that many friends!

Runs extremely well. Low speed is super. Like how the sound fits so well as to what the loco is being asked to do, heavy load sounds at start of movement, braking sounds etc.
Looks good too!

have made some improvements since I purchased the originals more than 10 years ago.

They business car looks great, exactly what I expected. I havent tried the electronics yet. My Decoder Pro wouldnt boot up when I fired it up to test the car. Be a couple of days before I do that.
I was disappointed having to wait from 5/2024 to 7/2025 for delivery but I realize it was out of your control. Also, out of your control was the $4.00 price addition after making a deposit for a certain price. However, it's too small a price to make a big deal about.
Anyway. I cant wait to see how the...

The bridge kit was very easy to build and adapt to specific situations. I would purchase again if needed. The wood was easy to stain and cut to fit specific needs. This was perfect for my 1940s-1950s era in a rural setting.

Needed this half-round for the leading edge of a Guillows DHC-2 scale float plane I'll build this winter. No other way to "round" the leading edge without the half-round material I obtained from you.
Went on perfectly; will ADD to the model's appearance.

Seems sensitive to curves less than 19”. Doesn’t like 9.75” or 11” at all. 17” depends on what it’s coming from. Straight to 17” and it tips if towing long units. 17” to straight seems okay. Nice loco, runs great at really low speeds. Got a few days of reworking a number of 11” and 17” curves into 19” curves. Need to do it for a couple of steam engines anyway, but really a pain in the rear.
Has no problems with all the Atlas turnouts, both the old ones and the new ones.

These railings were perfect for my application. They painted up nicely and did not require extra work sanding or cleaning up bits on the plastic/resin. They also came fast in the mail. I’d highly recommend them.

What a cool peice of automotive history! The vintage design of this kit makes it quite enjoyable, though understand it's not as highly detailed as a newer kit. That's not to say it isn't detailed, just don't purchase the kit expecting a Mobius kit. If you want your own peice of drag racing royalty, I recommend this guy!

The model is very detailed. The documentation is lacking in the respect of adding a keep alive capacitor and speaker specs. However, Broadway Limited Support has been extremely helpful with this information. I have not run the models as the Capacitor has not been installed yet.
