Blackstone Models has introduced the K-27 in modern piston valve configuration. Faithfully reproduced in HO scale, the Blackstone K-27 features die cast construction accented with numerous detail parts and state-of-the-art electronics including a SoundTraxx™ Tsunami™ sound system. The Blackstone K-27 sounds as good as it looks and will be equally at home on both DC and DCC controlled layouts.

Due to a small bit of excess manufacturing capacity at the factory, Blackstone Models has taken the opportunity to produce a short run of the most popular models (that sold out very quickly) as well as offer three new versions - one for each herald! There is a very short reservation time on these locomotives, so we MUST receive your reservations no later than February 1st, 2010! Delivery is expected to be summer of 2010.

Blackstone Models is following the tremendous success of their K-27 Mikado with another home run: the popular C-19 Consolidation.

These D&RGW and RGS C-19 class locomotives will be offered in variations that represent their appearance from the 1920s through the early 1950s. The first production run will represent the locomotives that featured the classic flared style tender body. Available in D&RGW road numbers 343, 345, 346, and 347, and RGS 40, Blackstone is also releasing two distinctive painted unlettered versions.
