A Blast From The Past, Part 5

Here's the last of my oldie but goodies, the last of the PS1 diesels that I have never before shown in one of my videos.  This MTH Premier model of the EMD BL-2 diesel came out in 1996 in EMD's demonstrator colors — it was one of the first in MTH's series of diesel demonstrators.  It still has the original Protosound system, and I will convert it to PS2 in the new year.  The BL-2 came out in the years after WWII.  The BL stand for "Branch Line" as it was intended for use on light branch lines.  It was a transitional locomotive and helped in the design of later diesels.  In this short True HD 1080p video, you can see the BL-2 hauling a short freight train, much as it was designed to do.
