Just finished talking with Charles Ro and told, to my dismay, that anticipated delivery of both Lionel's Flyerchief Polar Express set and add-on cars has been delayed once more from a late December '14/early January '15 delivery schedule to March 2015. Since Lionel showed this set at last Fall's York show, I'm wondering whether it will actually be in customer's hands by upcoming Spring York or is Christmas 2015 a more likely bet?
IMO, if Lionel wants to foster growth of their S gauge line, they'd eliminate the shipping delays so prevalent with their o gauge products.
