Re: Blackstone K-36 HOn3 ?

Since Blackstone lost their manufacture in China I personally think it's either a money problem with Blackstone, or it's a manufacturing cost problem. They have said it's being re-drawen and I personally think that's BS, as there should hundreds of drawings on these models and could be purchased from other manufactures. I think the cost to manufacture these engines is probably too high to make it sell-able to the HOn3 NG market, I just think it would be in the $600-$700 range, which would put most buyers out of the market. I have attended narrow gauge conventions and their answers have just not been convincing to me for these engines, but I will have to say that their stuff is tops and I will continue to buy their products.
