Looking at the colors of the drawings that they posted on their website

before the models were available to photograph, it appears that BLI intended to paint the PRR K7a in the nearly correct "Seriously Orange" freight car color and the GN version in Chinese red. Since their photos now show the GN Car in something approximating PRR freight car color, perhaps all the cars pictured are too dark from poor color renditioning in the photography. regards, Andy Miller

Subject: [PRR-Modeling] Fwd: Re: [PRR] BLI K7 Stock Car Pictures The following exchanged developed over on the PRR-talk list regarding the photos posted on the BLI website regarding the PRR class K7 stock cars. Ben Hom privately posted a photo to photo comparison for the car (model Vs. prototype) and not only have many of us agreed that the color is muttled but the lettering is drasticly wrong as well. There is some hopeful anticipation that these are just hand lettering mock up's of the car prior to release and that this will be corrected. If not I would say the car will require being stripped and repainted in oreder to correct the brutal errors... How they could get this so completely incorrect is beyond me. There is a PRRT&HS Modeling committee to avoid such mistakes... ALL MANUFACTURERS are welcomed. Greg Martin ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
