Just ordered a Lionel 990 Legacy control system from Legacy Station. #6-14295. Said it was available. Not a pre-order. Straight from their website. Am I mistaken somehow??

They are showing available and at a good price point.
Yeah, it was under transformers. Very reasonable shipping too. $14.00 shipped to Buffalo, NY.
Interesting, though it they were available you thing JohnZ, Rudy or Charlie would be trumpeting that good news here in the forum.
Keep us posted on what you hear from Legacy Station

Maybe it's a good sign, but they are still on Lionel's shipping schedule as Apr '14. Going to my LHS tomorrow, will ask as I have one on order.
Unless something has changed, Lionel used to drop them from the schedule when they shipped. Lots of folks were complaining about that, so they could have changed things? I would think Lionel would have marked them as 'Shipped' though?
hmmm, maybe so Chris. funny that it said available. Usually they don't charge the full amount shipping and all. Plus I received an email confirmation. Nothing referred to an items not in stock. I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Me too. I just saw "available" and took a chance....
It does appear that they have more than one because the site still has the 990 as available.....interesting.
FWIW, Legacy Station is rather famous (or should I say infamous) for showing items as available when they're really still on the boat.
Just confirmed that the Legacy 990 IS in fact not in stock! Trigger finger failed me this time. I will keep it on order with them as the price is pretty darn good. Sorry for the false alarm fellas.

I was told that they are in the states but there was a problem with something. .No details. The only other mystery is if they can be fixed stateside or have to be returned. So no final word on a delivery date..If they can fix in house it will be sooner..
Clearly, Lionel is the place to get these answers, not some retailer.
Has anyone else who ordered this from Legacy Station seen their credit card charged? My card was charged, which I thought was typically only done when an item ships, yet I have heard nothing. I sent them an e-mail on the subject and it has not yet been answered.
I've heard good things about them on this site, but...
Legacy station is a top dealer.

They told me the card would not be charged until the item ships. Now I need to check to make sure it wasn't charged. Thanks for the heads up.
