Lionel cancellations?

I checked the list today and it would not pull up on Lionel's website. Maybe Lionel is updating it?

 Folks,

As has been documented MANY times in these pages, the Lionel Shipping Schedule is not always up-to-date or accurate. And some items don't appear at all.

Far from an ideal situation but my suggestion is to try an alternate source like some of the major train dealers. For example, I frequently check Charles Ro who usually has pretty accurate information on arrival dates. Not perfect but often close.

Edit: Btw, on the Lion Chief Plus 2.0 Docksiders, they have never appeared on Lionel's shipping sked.  At one time Ro showed them as July 2020 delivery but nothing there now. These looked like a very popular choice based on chatter here on pre-orders so will be curious to learn about arrival dates.

I second that advice. Ro’s website is not completely user-friendly but does post what information on expected availability they get from Lionel, which I have noticed is updated regularly.

I ordered the Witherslack set and add on car, and about 3 weeks ago was informed that it was cancelled due to lack of orders.

I am well aware that Lionels site shipping schedule is a joke....    in my post i said some "manufacturers".    I meant "dealers" of which i was referring to Charles Ro for one as well as a few others....
