LCCA TINPLATE LAKESHORE LTD. GOING FAST

I'm in already.

Thanks!!

Hi Lou:

The estimated delivery date as seen on the order form to be Aug. 2012 for this set. How accurate has this estimated delivery date been for the past couple of years for LCCA sets and what  if any was the slippage?

Thanks,

Walt

the date is good so far because tin is made in a different plant. however if there is a paint issue or something i will reject the product in a second. i have refused items as many as 7 times but the tin set will be inspected and packaged here in the USA. next they have been known to short us as much as 10 to 12 percent because of parts shortages.

best regards

louie

Hi Lou:

Any updates available on when delivery can be expected?

Thanks for all you are doing for LCCA and us Tinplate lovers!

My understanding is that the cars are finished, but the locomotives are not done yet.

Do not know how this will impact delivery to us, but it sounds like progress is being made.  I would rather have a set this attractive done right rather than done "now".

Seems like Lou is a stern task master.

Keep up the good work!

I'm sure there's a Chinese phrase uttered at the plant for "Oh, no! Not Lou AGAIN!"

Rusty

Definitely want it done right! I was just curious where we were. I am in no hurry either.

Again, appreciation for doing this!

Tim

Perhaps the delivery dates should have built-in buffers rather than overly-optimistic arrivals.  And as to Quality Control, well, I just don't buy any excuses for Tinplate given the tiny production runs.  Perhaps some shipping damage is inevitable, but factory flaws are not.

We can still order? I went to the LCCA website, and I didn't see where to order this.

Well Casey, I found the order blank here:

I don't know if it's still valid, though.
