These all-new, accurately designed trucks feature the extreme attention to detail you've
come to know from BLMA Models. And, these trucks are factory equipped with awesome,
fine-scale metal wheels.
For as long as we can remember, prototype N Scale modelers have been begging for fine-scale horns. Well, in the spirit of filling market voids, we're proud to announce SIX New Brass Horns for N Scale. We will begin shipping these models early next week.
After 10+ years in Whittier, California, BLMA Models has moved to Fullerton, California.

Detail Your Locomotives!
June 22, 2010
Notice anything? Most N & HO locomotives could use a LOT more detail... BLMA offers a complete line of locomotive details in N Scale, and a select number of details in HO. When prototype fidelity is on the line, there is no substitute for fine-scale parts.
Our N Scale 5-Unit 53' Spine Cars are now due in late July/August due to manufacturing delays. Furthermore, the 5-Unit sets (BLMA #12001-004) are SOLD OUT - however, you can still order our 3-Unit Set (due late in 2010) direct or through your favorite dealer.
Your support and patience is greatly appreciated! Look for an ALL-NEW HO & N Freight Car announcement next month.....this will be BIG!

OK, that might be an exaggeration... You won't find Norfolk Southern TopGon's everywhere, BUT, we now have proof they travel to the Powder River Basin - AND with BNSF power! Check-out this neat train-long series of photographs by our friend, Chad Hewitt. Could this be inspiration for a third run in HO & N Scale with a new variation? Only time will tell...
