I see the Heislers are now due in August.

Well the command control gantry cranes are delayed again - until November. I'm amazed at how a company continues to operate when they repeatedly offer products and continually miss their own estimated ship dates. 
Wouldn't it be great if Lionel would make the shipping schedule downloadable to a spreadsheet... then we could sort on the ETA column and get a quick snapshot of what's due when? 
180W transformers delayed again. They have been out of stock for almost two years!
Thanks Pat
I noticed that the 6-82848 Single car Logging Disconnect w/Load is no longer on the list. Did they ship it or not going to make it now? The s-car set is still on the list, one would think since it's the same cars that they would all go together, unless the boxes for the 2 car sets are behind.
As for locomotives, I'm okay with the Heisler slipping, as it is my Christmas present. The Class A is coming sooner, but that's for my birthday next year. The 2-8-0 is still for this month, which is good as it's the one I want right away to play with. But since just about everything I ordered has moved, I need to double check to make sure my credit cards will be okay...
Thanks for the heads up.
They can delay the gantry crane another 6 months so long as they get it right. I am lucky enough to have 3 or 4 authorized service stations in a 20 mile radius but I do so dislike taking new stuff (including accessories!) in for warranty work.
They are still describing the GTW 0-8-0 as Great Western Trail. 
I ordered one.

No one has them in stock as far as I can tell (most store sites say on backorder). Sent an email to Lionel for status.

Just copy and paste it. That's how I get it into a spreadsheet.
GG1's are now December.
I was really hoping to have mine for the Christmas season.
Good Model Train News, for my train room. Thanks for sharing this information.

FEF-3's are still June, and I'm just dying to see them in the end. Also, I don't know if the drivers will be dark or light, it's something I still need to get used to. I kinda like the lighter drivers better.
I don't see the Freedom Train cars on the list. Hope they are not cancelled......

Oie Vey. I was really hoping the 180w powerhouse was going to deliver. I've built my layout beyond the capacity of what I currently have for power. Maybe it's time to formulate plan B.
Is there any way of finding out what has or hasn't been canceled? There were a couple of things I ordered that have been on previous shipping schedules that aren't on the most recent schedule.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion (yet). I didn't see the UP Excursion passenger set on the list either, and I'd be hard-pressed to believe Lionel didn't get enough interest on those to make it worthy of production.
There was a time that when stuff dropped off the list, it implied those items had just recently shipped. But that's clearly not the case anymore. And truth be told, I never liked that approach anyway. Why should the absence of something be the indicator that it shipped? 
Much prefer a solid, confirmed status of "shipped during mmm-yyyy" when items are sent to dealers.
Still more work to be done with this little jewel of a thing Lionel calls its shipping schedule. Just sayin'...

Lionel responded that they do not yet have an estimated shipping schedule for the 360 watt PM. Once they do, they will post it. At least it sounds like it is still going to be made.

No Lionchief Universal remote yet on the list. Haven't seen them show up yet - hope they are still making as it would be nice on the repair bench for testing customers remote issue, or if they just forget to bring in the remote like happens often at the LHS I repair for.

Looks like the N &W Class A will be my birthday present to myself!
