Lionel Shipping Updaste On-Line 5/22/13

NYC Water Level Set still showing as due in April.

So are the TankTrain cars, PS-4 flatcars, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

I'm still holding out hope that they mean it when they list the Legacy PRR S-2 Turbine for this month - which means shipping next week.  I really would like to get that puppy.

I check the items that I ordered and are supposed to ship in May 2013.  still showing May 2013.  It looks to me like nothing changed, from April 22, 2013.

The 990 legacy Command sets were suppose to ship in April, but now some of the bigger dealers are saying August.  The schedule still says April for these.  I am glad I found one a couple of months ago; otherwise, I would have been waiting a few more months.  Based upon the delay of that item, I suspect other items will be delayed too, but we will have to wait patiently and see. 

Did anyone get anything that was supposed to ship in May yet?

The wood sided cabooses are at dealers now (on May, 2013 list). I have the GN and it's a beauty.

When the schedule is accurate... Which isn't very often these days... If a ship date quotes a specific month, the product is usually available at the larger dealers during the early part of the following month.

The schedule has been a mess for a couple of months now though... Lots of stuff that was labelled for March/April didn't ship at all.  So it will be interesting to see what if anything ships at the end of May for availability at dealers in June.

Nowadays, the healthiest outlook is, "The stuff will arrive when it gets here... And that's that.  If it's on time, consider that a bonus."

Wonder if the NS Heritage ES44AC's, and the TankTrain cars are being pushed back, and if so how far? I heard the Heritage units are.  Also if it is true that the Turbine is being pushed back till Sept.? I believe it was Marty E. who heard that at York.

Thank you Mark.
