Re: BTS BL-2 (X2)

 

If the current owner of the rights to the BTS model would like to make some return on their investment by doing another run of the BL-2s, I would suggest they do not wait too much longer to do so... because when my need becomes dire enough, I will simply resort to paying someone with CAD experience to design a new and likely superior shell, etc. for 3-D printing this model... effectively making the investment of whoever bought the rights to the BTS model a waste of money. And I can see my need for some BL-2 locomotives materializing somewhere around the end of summer time this year. I don't intend to wait much longer than that.
Chop chop for some ching ching.? :)

BTS has none?
BTS made these 20 years ago, around 50 units according to the NASG website.? Pretty sure Bill can tell you they sold out a long time ago.

The last BL-2 left here in 2004.?? Production ended with 75 kits going out the door.??

Some years ago, a fellow S modeler purchased the patterns, remaining decals, and rights to the BL-2.???? I have passed John D's request for a rerun to him a couple of times and no response.?

It was a fun project, and unlike most in S Scale, it actually made a bit of money!?

Take care,
Bill

PS - Third novel - Fair Winds of Doubt - is now available on Amazon, B&N, and here, of course.??? Both the Virginian and Norfolk & Western roads were mentioned.?
