A Critically Flawed Design - Broadway Limited Smoke

Hey guys! Today I talk about BLI's mistake of putting smoke units into (plastic) engines which weren't originally designed to handle smoke, and the detrimental effects from it. Their persistent refusal to upgrade or modify old tooling to better incorporate new features is the main issue, and it needs to be addressed. Enjoy! Note that this is an issue that only plagues engine models which tooling was created before the invention of BLI's smoke unit, aka before paragon 2...back then when most of their engines had plastic boilers. This includes the PRR I1sa, NYC J1, PRR T1, Reading T1, N&W, UP MT73, PRR M1, and others. Note that certain engines like the ATSF 4-8-4 partially combated this issue by using brass smoke stacks, on a plastic body. This greatly helped in reducing warping, but the smokebox was still susceptible.
