Agreed - I'm specifically asking about the travel time from when it leaves Lionel to when it arrives at Trainworld in NYC
Well, I suspect that's really up to the shipping carrier and not either Lionel or Trainworld. With the Christmas season well upon us, shipping times are stretching out. I would venture a guess that it would be a pretty tight window if something is currently in the Lionel warehouse and you're hoping that it can be shipped from Lionel to Trainworld, then shipped from Trainworld to you before Christmas. I certainly wouldn't bank on that kind of turnaround, even if it's possible.
