I can't remember which credit card I used when I ordered my 4 ES44's from Nassau Hobby.  I sent them an e-mail to see if they could tell me which card I used.  Here is part of the reply I received:

"es44's are due in either christmas eve or the week after xmas we will contact you when they come in"

So, I don't think anyone who ordered from Nassau Hobby should have been charged for the ES44's, yet.

Interestingly enough my CC was not charged yet, however, my bet is that since it shipped yesterday and arrived today, my card will charged tonight. I am expecting the KCS Southern Belle tomorrow so the CC charges to show up by Christmas.

Oh man i am so jealous, enjoy your Hudson.

It seems my credit card has a pre-auth for the ES44's I ordered from Charlie Ro that hit on Sunday.  When I returned home tonight, I noticed an email alert from Fed-Ex... ES44's will arrive on Santa's sleigh December 24!!!   Charlie's place must be a mad-house with all the stuff shipping out yesterday/today.    Seriously, I wonder how many Fed-Ex and UPS trucks were needed to haul shipments destined for customers this week.

I am excited for You getting the new Hudson. I to have the Century Club 2 set complete, New in the box, for the cars, however, the engine resides on a glass shelf in a display case. Its beautiful.   Let us know how the Legacy version sounds. Century Club 2 has the 5.0 sound system...Merry Christmas....WOW!!!

Hi Kevin 

great to hear you received your engine. I ordered the entire set I will have it tomorrow. Once I open it I will post a video of it in action 

Thanks

I ordered mine from Mr muffins as I didn't ordered mine early enough from Charles to.. So I am assuming it's gonna be another week for me.  Starting to regret not buying the Empire State express set considering I am a NYC fan.  

fed ex schedule to deliver tomorrow from Charles Ro .I think its my 4 pack of Hiawatha passenger cars .its been 2 years since I order them

Alex,

I was going to change my order to the full set, but since I had the CCII car's I decided not to do with the full set. I may regret it later but with the 115 Anniver. Berk, the J3A NYC, the CSX Clinchfield Heritage unit (the AC6000), the KCS Southern Belle and the new / old CCII NYC Niagara Milt Train...... Maybe I should have spent the extra bucks on the entire set especially because the lighting is LED and I just realized, you can't get the Cars separately I am doomed to run CCII cars.

Can't wait for the video.

I plan to head to NJHirailers tomorrow or Wednesday for a break in session.

Just got a FedEx notification - the KCS ES44 Southern Belle is heading to their facility in Boston. 

Larry,

I will try to capture the first run video ASAP. Alex will beat me to it, but that's fine. I will post what I can.

I recived an email today from Charles Ro the my NS es44s are in and readyto pick up...

Thanks Jim!! I will

I got a Fed x message on Mon saying something is on the way.....I wish Charles Ro would send an email to the customer to say what is coming, instead of getting notified by Fedx and then finding a charge on your credit card the next day....I have multiple things on order from Ro, so it would be nice if I know what was coming......

Check your Charles Ro shipping alerts closely... they often have the Charles Ro Order Number listed.  And from that you may be able to narrow down -- or even completely determine -- what's being shipped.  It's not perfect, but it'll get you darn close.  Then there's the package shipping weight... and also a credit card pre-auth that you can check too.  It's all part of the fun investigative work to guess what's headed your way.

I have no problem  telling what is coming from ro.

Enjoy the new train stuff guys... has anyone seen my new bridges yet?

Santa Fe ES44AC to arrive tomorrow from CHARLES RO.  Thank you CHARLIE!!!

The ESE arrived from Ro today.  Lionel did a great job with this product. Sounds like the Vision Hudson but a better whistle, much better.

smokes lke a MTH!

Congrats on receiving this highly anticipated engine! I'll be getting the set soon, and am eager to see it in action against my OTHER Hudsons.

Take a look at Alex's posting today, I go the engine because I had the CCII cars, I think I should have gone the extra $ for the set but then I would have had to buy the additional 2 car set,

Thanks - the engine is great puts the CCII engine to shame- Glad I sold it. Especially since my CCII Niagara blew the drive shaft and gears yesterday and it is sidlined

The KCS Southern Bell arrived today
