I'm trying this pre-order process for the first time, with an order from the 2022 vol 1 catalog. Can anyone give me an idea as to when I should expect notification my pre-order has arrived and is ready to be shiped to me?

Here is the shipping schedule from Lionel. Many times the dates are accurates, sometimes items are delayed for various reasons but it will offer a roadmap to when your preordered items may land.
Crris - THANKS ! I found my item.
For future refernce, how will I find future Listings like this?

You can find them on Lionel's site all the way at the bottom is a link.
Also if you enter your item into the Lionel Store site you can usually see when it's due in there as well.

Thank you both.
This is very useful information.
Much appreciated.

Note that this shipping schedule has a March 3rd 2022 date. I wish Lionel would update this on a more regular basis - at least monthly or quarterly
@Dave Olson any way to see internally at Lionel if having this updated and published more regularly is a possibility?
You're welcome!
Also when searching the document or web page hit "control + f" to search for any text or numbers.

I've found the larger dealers, i.e. Charles Ro, Trainworld, etc to be more active updating shipping guesstimates on items on their website listing.
It's easier to go there and find a particular item than scrolling through Lionels shipping pages.
