I remember reading that the MTH Crocodiles had been delivered to Europe and the MTH website is still showing a September delivery date; the question remains when will they be delivered in the U.S. and what year? My string of beer wagons have been patiently waiting for that special engine to pull them.

May be the only thing I might look for in 3 wks @ ****. If he doesn't have it running, that will be bigger news then if it's just sitting on one of those shelves w/a price tag. 
November is correct but the year is 2014, yuk,yuk,yuk.
@flmtrain...well sorry I'm in the same boat...awaiting my 3 rails example (wonder if this is the issue with the late delivery in North America). The pic above was found on the Bay (were a few are up for sale..2 rails version).
Found this other one...note the missing pilot wheels (as delivered..)
Also something I never pay attention before is that the PFA is the one of a passengers trains and not freight ( as I though it will come with...)...maybe that mean that MTH will offer some matching Swiss passengers cars in the next decade..
Thanks for the information. I never do Facebook and so I was unaware of the changes. It is obvious that MTH should also update that same shipping information on their own website. The shipment date for the Crocodile has been a moving target since 2010 and so I guess the prediction of 2014 isn't that farfetched!
LaFondue: I too would like to see a picture or video of what arrived in that box!

Lafondue: The completion of my post was interrupted by a phone call and it was only after posting that I saw your response. As I've said in a previous post, one needs to look at their own life expectancy prior to pre-ordering!

What about the MISSING pilot wheels "as delivered" on the Kroc in that photo?

The pilot are to be installed by the customer...(funny wise no mention of it in the online instruction manual..)
I posted this thread on the 2 rails scale forum a couple of weeks ago....

Saw both versions at Lokschuppen Dortmund today.My oh my it's the biggest train shop I've ever been in! Wow!
Once again the guys at MTH can not decide what the minimum curve for this engine is.
In the 2013 Vol.1 catalog the next issues of this engine says minimum curve is 054.
On their website and speaking to the number 2 guy at MTH he assured me that the minimum curve is 042 for 3 rail 0 gauge track. I operate on 048 so if the engine does not go around 048 back the engine goes to MTH.

According to a MTH rep they will be here in 4-6 weeks
We ETS fans don't have to wait. It's only tinplate, but it's a Crocodile. The photo is the Seetal Crocodile, otherwise known as the "Baby Croc" but ETS also makes the big one in two colors. I've set this one up with a Lionel type coupler at one end and an ETS coupler at the other.
