Broadway Limited Imports (HO)

Broadway Limited Imports (BLI) is a manufacturer of high-end HO and N scale model trains. Founded in 2002 and based in Ormond Beach, Florida, the brand changed the hobby by pioneering factory-installed sound. They specialize in limited-run locomotives with museum-quality detailing and advanced electronics. Their catalog features a wide range of locomotives, including steam, diesel, and electric models.

The brand stands out with its “Paragon4” series and “Rolling Thunder” sound technology. This system uses an external subwoofer to provide deep, realistic bass as the train passes. Many of their models also include synchronized smoke units and capacitors for smooth operation. For modelers who use their own electronics, BLI offers a “Stealth Series” that provides high-level detail without the factory sound system.
