April 10, 2017

News

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.”

VIBRANT FUTURE

A G-scale train weaving in and out of foliage, across rocky terrain and over bridges spanning water features in the backyard is a sight to behold. Yet it ranks behind its smaller counterparts. The NMRA lists the scale behind the more popular HO, N and O, respectively. Some say G-scale, which was introduced in the 1960s, doesn't have enough staying power, but many believe the future is vibrant. The scale is appealing to families in hopes of encouraging younger generations to get involved.
