Perhaps this has been discussed already, but does anyone know when the next batch of Lionel 10-wheelers will be out? I am anxious to get my C&NW 1385, and just wondering when they may arrive.

You do know that there is a Shipping Schedule on the Lionel website, do you not?
Your loco 6-82267 is due this month, per the site.
Nope, I did not. Thanks for the info, I will look at their site. And thanks for the heads up as to when.

FWIW Lionels shipping schedule is when items are shipped to the dealer. If it holds true you typically have the item in your hand at some point in the following month.
Currently Lionels shipping schedule says " May '15". If that doesn't change, you should see the loco by the end of June. Lionel shipping schedule
Thanks to ALL for your comments and heads-up.

My reply yesterday about the Shipping Schedule sounds a bit snippy - not meant that way (don't you just love machinery communication?).
Anyway, these Lionel NYC F-2/F-12 (the real prototype) 4-6-0's are some of the nicest of the modern Lionel steamer offerings. I have a NYC TMCC version. Great model, runs superbly.
My earlier TMCC version doesn't chuff enough; one day I'll address that.
While it is often the big locos that get all the glory, locos this size are often the most satisfying to run. A premium grade loco this size - and there are not a lot - is easy and quick to set up, fits the layout's tight curves well and runs superbly and has cruise - all features I value a lot. I have the Legacy 0-8-0 and Atlantic, and a Premier 2-8-0 and 4-4-0 that are all great and get a lot of play time. This ten wheeler is a bit more handsome than they are and for that reason will probably get even more attention. I can hardly wait for it (but clearly have no choice but too
.)
Still nothing at my hobby shop for the supposed release of the Lionel 10-wheelers in May. Including no 1385!! Any thoughts out there as to when?
What does it mean when the catalog says "built to order?" Perhaps your hobby shop didn't order any or any extras?
Preordered and got mine months ago.
