Anyone heard if the new BTO Camelbacks are on the list to be build? Nothing on the shipping schedule yet. It would be nice if they put a last updated date at the top of the list.

On Demos with Dave on Monday he mentioned he wanted to be able to demo the engineering prototype Camelback within a few weeks.

I'm keeping my eye on these, particularly the Reading one. I'm hopeful they end up being nice.
Already pre-ordered the Reading.
Pre-ordered an O&W.
I pre-ordered the Jersey Central Blue Comet.
Also, on Workshop Wednesday with Ryan, he said that there should be an updated shipping schedule posted by the end of the month with all of the 2021 V1 catalog items. As of last week, they were still talking with their factories regarding production times and once that is finalized we should know more about when the Camelbacks *should* arrive.

More importantly I hope they're talking their factories with regards to QUALITY CONTROL.
The only cancelations in the new catalog are the fantasy paint schemes of the Acela in PA,UP.SF and Mil Amtrak and Polar are a go. And the only other cancelation is the Reading AF flyer set. All else in the catalog is a go so lots to come they have adequate orders. This all from Lionel. Remember the tooling for the Camelbacks already exists its really an upgrade only to technology under the shell. I would expect to see them 4th quarter 2021.
Well all this is good to know, have to keep checking the website list. I have the first version made by Lionel with one chuff per rev., so this will be a nice change. See below.
