ORMOND BEACH, FL – Broadway Limited Imports, LLC, announced today its 2017 Exclusive Run Program which allows both distributors and dealers of BLI products to build new products
with the Broadway Limited Imports brand that will be available exclusively through them.
Throughout the years, BLI has collaborated numerous times with distributors and dealers on exclusive runs of BLI products. The company said because demand for collaboration has increased it will make the opportunity formally available for resellers.
The program is open for production of both existing and newly tooled prototypes including locomotives and rolling stock in HO and N scales. All locomotives will be outfitted with BLI’s latest Paragon3 with Rolling Thunder technology. All products will carry BLI’s standard warranty and support.
BLI will begin accepting exclusive run agreements May 1 on a first come, first-served basis. Exclusivity lasts for one year from the date of initial delivery and may be renewed.
“We’re excited to formally offer our retail partners this opportunity to build exclusive BLI branded products,” said Bob Grubba, president of Broadway Limited Imports. “We’ve had great success throughout the years running exclusives for both distributors and dealers and we anticipate with the introduction of our new program that we’ll see some new prototypes that the hobby might not otherwise see. We look forward to working closely with our resellers to build exciting new products for the hobby.”
It’s easy to not see the forest for the trees on a model railroad, so the Colorado Model Railroad Museum won’t mind if visitors focus closely on the towering firs and glowing aspens on the Oregon, California & Eastern Railroad. A panoramic scan is most appropriate now that many of the 28,000 trees are getting a makeover. One of the country’s top model railroad museums, CMRM is refreshing scenery along its Pacific Northwest-based signature HO-scale layout with laborious help from staff and volunteers. For the past year, trees, ground cover and other scenery have been cleaned or replaced on the 15-year-old masterpiece inspired by museum founder David Trussell.
Freight stations and engine service facilities are the most common assets for railroads, and Gene Mangum's HO-scale Mystic Branch is no exception. In the first of a two-part series, Mangum details the many railroad-owned structures on the layout.
Two years after Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern became North America’s first continuous north-south railroad, Union Pacific Railroad Co. and Norfolk Southern Railway Co. are working to stitch a seamless east-west transcontinental railroad. Leaders from UP and NS say a seamless railroad devoid of interchanges creates valuable synergies for shippers and the Union Pacific Transcontinental Railroad.
