Agreed.
I suspect many of our orders are sitting off the CA coast, involved in the port mess/labor deal. Again, that's my opinion and we all know what they're like...
Look forward to the Vision Line Reefers arriving! And, the caboose!
Charlie Nassau does an excellent job in keeping us informed. Just regularly follow this Forum. 
FWIW I think that there is more than shipping delays at play - more likely a backlog at the factory or some parts shortage because the expected arrival time of some models catalogued in 2014 has been pushed back months. I have in mind in particular the Legacy cranes and boom cars. If you've ever opened up one of the TMCC cranes or looked at the parts diagrams for them you'll know what a complicated mechanism they have, any major part of which might be held up in the supply stream.
P.S. I totally agree with Brian (PTC) about Charlie Nassau's info.

Count on it. The port work slow-down is likely a VERY small part of the delays surrounding our toy trains. Although it's gotten a lot of headlines lately, the importers can't use that as THE reason why products are delayed. (But I'm sure they'll try. 
)

Lionel plans 3 seperate shippments in March. They just got done with inventory and the 2015 catalog. So we can expect a bunch in the next few weeks. We have a laod of skids due in by Thursday. I will post info as I get it.
As always Thank You for the info.

Any chance those LIRR N5b cabeese are in there?
I can't believe the Neil Young sets are pushed back another month.
Appears that Charlie Ro has apparently received his order of Lionel N&W Pocahontas sets this week, since my credit card is showing a pending transaction for one. So more things are en route!!!

Neil Young sets have been pushed back again. Now August
