new product news: new HO Y6b

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Hi Mike:
Cast metal boiler, huh? That's good for pulling power, but means you'd have 
to get out ye olde hacksaw to 'bash it back to a Y6/Y6a. :)   Still, if they 
get the driver-diameter right, have separately applied piping and the sound 
doesn't sound like it's coming from a '60s close-and-play record player, 
I'll likely empty my wallet for a couple.
Can you talk 'em into offering the tenders separately?
For the record, IMHO, from what I heard of LokSound online and at their 
booth in Cincinnati, they've got a ways to go to catch up with Soundtraxx, 
QSI et al. And, lastly, I believe Precision Craft is a sister company to 
BLI, at least based on their addresses shared.
