Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce the new BlueLine series of value-enhanced DC sound-equipped products. Since the time we pioneered mass-produced HO scale sound-equipped locomotives nearly five years ago, many technological advances have allowed us to significantly reduce the cost associated with building a quality sound-equipped model. Now, with the BlueLine, model railroaders will find good detail and running qualities coupled with a state-of-the-art DC sound system that is DCC Ready—All at significantly lower prices. The BlueLine was designed with today’s value-conscious modeler in mind.

Where does the savings come from? It comes from streamlining manufacturing processes and new technologies that we have developed in-house. We no longer pay the exorbitant licensing fees we have incurred in the past for our newly developed sound and control system. And by offering BlueLine in a DC sound, DCC-Ready configuration, we allow those who use DC only to save on features they don’t need while allowing DCC users to inexpensively and quickly (plug ‘n’ play) convert to DCC.

Great Features. Great Value.

At last, you can have sound on your layout for much, much less.

The BlueLine Advantage:

  • Ready-to-Run, Well-Detailed, Durable Locomotives with significantly lower prices.
  • DC Sound-Equipped, DCC Ready.
    DCC users can quickly and easily install their favorite DCC decoders into the included plug 'n' play socket. This allows for both sound and operation control of the loco.

  • DC Sound Effects operated with DCMaster Analog Control Module.
  • Electronics & Sound System is Update-Ready via Internet download should future updates be required.
  • Low Start-Voltage, even when operating with Sound in DC
  • Many varieties and Paint Schemes to accommodate smaller Road Names

The best sound system in model trains: The most volume and frequency response, playable whistle/horn, numerous idle sounds and automatic sounds and more.


Our own proprietary sound system means the best sound for you. At the best price possible.

 

Out-of-the-box, BlueLine locomotives come with a DC sound and control board. (DCC Ready for both Sound and DCC.

Removal of the top board reveals the NMRA standard 8-pin socket for plug 'n' play DCC decoder installation for Sound and Operation in DCC.

DCC users may install their favorite DCC decoder. Digitrax DN143IP is shown plugged into the socket.
