That must be quite the balancing act!
Barry: I think that was the joke. 
So what is going on with these? They aren't on the list anymore, and haven't been for quite awhile now. If they were shipped somebody must of gotten theirs by now, or at least seen them.

The last I heard they were being released tomorrow (10/10).
Released from where? China, Lionel warehouse,or Retailers?
Spoke with Charlie Ro a couple of weeks ago and asked him if this item had been cancelled. He said it had not been and that he expected to be shipping it on 10/10. Who knows - this thing has been delayed multiple times and it has dropped off the Lionel shipping schedule.
I spoke with Matt Ashba at the Lionel booth yesterday. The smoke fluid loader has not been made yet. There is a problem obtaining a motor for the accessory. He said the smoke fluid loader will be made but had no time frame for its release. I had even e-mailed "Talk to Us" at Lionel and they said the smoke fluid loader had shipped to dealers. Someone at Lionel is not asking the right people the right questions before answering.

Neal,
Thank you.
It's fine with me if it takes a while to get this accessory; I'm just glad it isn't cancelled.

Anyone hear when this will be shipped? Seems to me we put a man on the moon in in the time we have been waiting for this. It would be good if Lionel would address this delay.

Last I heard the designer is still negotiating with Lionel for compensation. Until that happens they can't produce them.

That would have been decided long ago.
An interesting hint/rumor is that in the new update to the LCS App they included several accessories to test, the smoke loader is one of them. Either Dr ZW knows something we do not, or he is optimistic

I would agree except the original deal was struck before the new management at Lionel and there was a dispute afterwards. It may be that Lionel produced the product but because the designer did not sign off on the deal they can't sell them.
