front (forgot her name) showed us around and talked me into buying a water tower with sound. had to hook it up last night to see it work, only thing i could see wrong was when the spout came down on a taller tender it would tip the tower over, so have to add about an inch or so under it. otherwise love it. thanks again to larry. bob has a - great thing going here with broadway. christine and kenneth cole .

paragon3 with rolling thunder tm is our flagship line of locomotives featuring our most advanced sound and drive technology ever. wireless synchronization of full frequency bass sounds that cannot be generated from standard model - mounted speakers makes a new realm of realism a reality .
premium sound equipped locomotives with puffing smoke (on most equipped steamers), superb detail and ultra - smooth slow speed characteristics. the cream of the crop in ho trains .
our brass - hybrid, or hybrid for short, locomotives are one of the best values in ho trains. made of mostly brass, these locomotives have detail levels found only on brass locomotives with running characteristics only found on plastic models. it' s the best of both worlds at an out of this world low price .
here, you' ll find great deals on refurbished products that have our full, as - new warranty .
the official promo video everyone' s been waiting foris here... see the rolling thunder system in action! (don' t watch ...
w we are still amazed by the realistic sounds our models can produce. yet when we hear a real locomotive, we notice the deep rumbling sounds that even our advanced model locomotives simply could not reproduce, until now .
how does it work? the speakers in most ho scale locomotives will only reproduce sounds above approximately 600 hertz. the human ear can detect sounds between 20 to 20, 000 hertz, and we can feel sounds at even lower frequencies. many of the sounds real trains make are in the lower frequencies that models cannot reproduce. this is due to the tiny speakers which cannot move enough air. to overcome this shortcoming, paragon3 incorporates a cutting edge radio transmitter system we call rolling thundertm that sends the low frequency sounds to a specially designed receiver and subwoofer under your layout. since low frequency sounds have a longer wavelength, it is difficult for the human ear to detect the direction of the source. the result is that while the locomotive moves around the layout, you can hear the high frequency sounds coming from the locomotive, and the low frequency sounds from the subwoofer - - all perfectly synchronized to the motion of the locomotive and the puffing of the smoke, and your ears will perceive the full array of sound as coming from the model !
on a large layout, where a locomotive can be very far from the subwoofer, the rolling thundertm system detects the distance and fades out the subwoofer until the locomotive gets close again, or, if another locomotive is in range, it will connect automatically to the subwoofer and begin playing its sounds at levels appropriate to its distance to the subwoofer .
the system consists of the paragon3 sound system in the locomotive, with its integral rolling thundertm transmitter, a rolling thundertm receiver box under the layout, and a powered subwoofer .
• rolling thundertm receiver works with any rolling thundertm equipped paragon3 locomotive • rolling thundertm works with dc or dcc layouts. just plug it in. • 25 times more powerful than typical model train sound systems for sounds you can feel • 2 available transmission frequencies - to prevent wireless interference • 29 available channels per frequency - for additional wireless interference prevention • actual sounds of each locomotive play through subwoofer • subwoofer sounds are perfectly synchronized to the locomotive movement, sound effects and smoke, if applicable • subwoofer frequency response range from 20 to 600 hz • subwoofer size 15. 75 x 17. 75 x 8. 25 inches • 8 inch polycarbonate cone • subwoofer volume goes to 11

if i had to nitpick it would be that the last few engines i have acquired (2 up ac6000s, a cp 2 - 8 - 0, a up 4 - 6 - 6 - 4, and the s2 turbine) have not come with cab figures. however this is not a huge issue as the engines can easily accept their figures with little to no modificati
on needed to access the cabs save for a pair of screws or a handrail that needs removing. anyway, there have been only two instances with my 6 years of bli products where i have had to send an engine in for repairs and even then they were minor (a non - functi
driver spring on the j1a). both times the level of costumer service has been simply wonderful .
love the engines and attention to detail, but the sound is lacking a bit. compared to what 3rd party sound decoder companies (such as tcs and esu) are doing, bli is really lacking. my first steam loco
motive was a bli 2 - 8 - 2, and i really do love the quality and attention to detail on the models. the rolling thunder system is a very neat concept, none the less .
stics to other 4 - 6 - 2s in your fleet. it would also be neat to see some hon3 offerings down the road .
ed with the sound. it sounds worse then my cheap bachmann. $ 300 for a smoking, muffled piece of garbage. i can' t even begin to tell you how bad the so
loco you expect me to take time off work to find out about a problem with your loco i dont think so. . worst customer service in the world
ot really a negative) is that the factory sound levels are much too high out of the box and need to be turned down. at cv value of 50 the sound is very clean and clear. i am very happy with my purchase !
s in the past month. 2 prewar pennsy k4' s and 2 m1a' s, one which was a birthday present from my girlfriend
only one of the m1a' s actually arrived in one piece but still damaged as the keystone number plate was cracked and split down the middle. love the sound and detail of paragon 3. all locomotive
. i have a paragon 2 post war k4 which i ordered off ebay several years ago. it arrived in one piece, no broken parts and runs like a champ. and with b. l. i. doing away with the 2 year warranty and going back to a 1 year warranty, that raises fears and concerns for future b. l. l. locomotive
purchased an n scale (csx) ac6000cw - was dead out of the box! !! my dealer said bring it in and we will test it. they did - only to confirm it was dead (trips the dcc breaker). so they pull another on
e out (a up), its was also dead out of the box. so they give me another one a week later and tell me that it tested good (for 5 min), i take it home and it lasts another 20 min before acting odd (light flickering
and odd sounds) then tripping the dcc breaker. i lift up and quickly notice an electronic
burnt smell. i call the shop and guess what, another customer has brought his back for the same issues - shop owner says he' s sitting on $ 1, 000. 00 in defective bli products now with 3 unhappy customers !
!! bli - what is going on? ?? ? love the look of this unit, but they need to operate to be worth $ 200. 00! ! !
d the new ho ge ac6000 dcc with smoke and sound. well worth the wait. i had to fine tune the couplers but that is normal. very pleased with the sound, the lights and all of the other program
had a problem with my ac6000 but my stockist sorted! the loco is great with brilliant sound .
i just received my great northern s2. getting it out of the box, i found it to be quite a spectacula
r model. however, getting it to the tracks was a different story. first, i noticed the locomotive
self goes crooked down the tracks. i' ve tried shuffling and twisting the wires, but to no avail. the vestibule does not line up .
s are running. when i tried operating an entirely different train, the s2 would coast to a stop and begin to run backwards .
al and there was a problem with decoder. took it back to dealer and got an intermount
er. but i have never had an engine act up before like my l & ne l1. these are the cons .
ut, it would go through all the sound effects it had installed in it. from spring time birds singing, shoveling ,
air pump, random noises, and who knows what; it would sit there and loop forever. the operation standpoint
wasn' t so good, it had its days. running at track speed, it would stop all of a sudden without touching the throttle, make reverser sounds (8 or 9 times), then would start to play all sounds installed on the engine. and sometimes instead of sounds playing, it would reverse at full speed with no response to the throttle. then having to grab it off the layout before it hit the floor. i heard someone once refer to paragon 3 as rolling blunder .
attention to detail is amazing. they have ever detail down to the wire, all the way down to the back head. these new locomotive
run very smooth (when they want too) compared to paragon 2. i love having the cab light and marker lights .
also being die cast makes it a puller. it easily pulls a 50 car train with ease, all are cars being weighted .
s sent theirs back and they returned with nothing resolved. so instead i replaced the paragon 3 rolling thunder with a tcs wowsound v4 .
i own a 1938 dreyfuss hudson which i ran around the christmas tree over the holiday. somewhere along the way the front pilot plate disappeare
off while i was cleaning it and didn' t notice until too late. i called up parts and without hesitation
s and have the intent to purchase more. i' d also like to thank the customer support and parts department
n to replace damaged parts. keep up the good work! hopefully you guys will be releasing a paragon 3 n & w j fairly soon ?
was down there yesterday to have them reprogram an engine, larry did a good job, had it done in no time. my wife and i drove down from jacksonvil
anyone up for a round of “name that sample arrival”? scale and prototype.
