backordered

Joe, Why not look for a nice used bridge on the secondary market? Odds are against the new one even being made IMHO

I'm one of those who is also awake at all hours. I've watched the PBS special a few times. The history of the GCT is one that covered so many generations of Americans. It's time for another pot of coffee and more time to run trains.

I purchased a Locomotive years ago through the old Kline collectors club.

Paid for it in Nov and didn't receive it until the following Oct.

Years ago I ordered a Marklin #1-gauge locomotive from a (at that time) local dealer and then waited more than four years for it to be released.  When notified of its arrival I had already moved to another state and had even forgotten about the preorder.  Informed the dealer that, due to the extremely long delay, I was no longer interested.  I hated to do that, but I felt 4+ years, although certainly not the dealer's fault, was entirely unreasonable.

I'm looking. Missed one on the bay by one dollar. there's one listed there with $53.00 shipping charge.

I've learned my lesson there and other auction sites I bid what i'm willing to pay and don't look again until its over

One on the buy/sell board right now!

thanks. if were talking about the same one I'm watching it. I see the new $99.00 one so I guess that's the end of the less expensive one. I'm a fan of high tech but I don't much see the need for a speed sensor

There is a NC seller with 10 available on the auction site with free shipping.

had a local friend that use to run a hobby shop. he pre-ordered a G scale locomotive for a guy. after a year While waiting for the loco to be delivered, the guy who ordered it died.  His son came in and asked about the loco and was prepared to pay for it. My friend the hobby shop dealer told him he was not abligated and he sent the loco back.
