The Broadway Limited Imports Brass-Hybrid 4-12-2 models include locomotives from classes UP-4 and UP-5 and are detailed as the prototypes existed late in their careers. All locomotives feature Boxpox main drivers, an enlarged straight stack, accurate sand dome, 6 external Brewster sand traps and complete air pump plumbing.

The tenders sport modernized features including a crew grip box and stoker motor box.

Two models faithfully reproduce the E-2 Nine relocated and redesigned cab, which has never been offered on a model.

Being predominantly brass in construction, details unrenderable in other materials are beautifully included on the BLI 4-12-2.
