Blackstone Models is happy to announce that due to demand there will be a very limited 2nd run of the Blackstone Models K-27 in HOn3! Due to a small bit of excess manufacturing capacity at the factory, this production run will include a short run of the most popular models (that sold out very quickly) as well as three new versions — one for each herald! The reservation period has closed for this item, but check with us anyway regarding availability.

Due to the limited nature of this release, all units will be offered only as unweathered, sound-equipped models. Equally exciting, is that we now have these models in stock.

These will be the models offered — All Models CRS priced at $343.25.

The D&RGW C-19 class locomotives will be offered in variations that represent their appearance from the 1920s through the early 1950s. Three road numbers will be available with the D&RGW Royal Gorge Route Herald (No.’s 343, 346 and 347), one switcher version with the Flying Grande Herald (No. 345), and one with the RGS Livery (No. 40). There will be two Painted, Unlettered versions, one with a black boiler and one with a green boiler. 347 will be available in both black and green boiler versions. Also, we will be offering road number 345 in the D&RG “Bumblebee” paint scheme, similar to its appearance in the movie Denver and Rio Grande (non-weathered).

Crusader Rail Services will stock each C-19 with or without Tsunami Sound on board. Each C-19 will also be available in a weathered or non-weathered paint scheme, except the Painted, Unlettered which is offered as non-weathered only (B310206S and B310207S). The Earlier Version Painted, Unlettered represents locomotive details typical of the late 1910s era.

— ‘S’ indicates Sound
— for Weathered, add ‘W’ to the stock number - except B310206(S) and B310207(S)
