Has anybody seen these new Lionel CC Wabash F-3 AB sets at a dealer? Very strange that this set is not out yet and was supposedly "shipped" back in November.

Call Charlie Ro's and see if they have it on display.... I haven't seen one yet....
Jan. 3 -- I wrote Lionel customer service today and they said they don't know what's going on either but will try to find out for me. Geez...
Wabash F3 A-B units? Somebody’s giving you bad information. Some dealers have had these since before Christmas.
Here you go:
M.B. Klein (long-time Baltimore train dealer) has them in stock. $429.99.
Johnstrains, thanks for the info. My dealer says their distributor has not received any yet and has no info on when they will get them. This is a mystery to me. Plus, they were supposedly shipped in early November (according to Lionel's website) and what happened to them after that, even if some dealers got them before Christmas.
I also have a UP anniversary CC set on order and the distributor told my dealer that they won't be out until February, but I understand many dealers already have them in stock. Makes you wonder.

As a matter of fact, M.B. Klein just got the UP ALCO Anniversary Set in today (along with the long-awaited new Lionel transformer).
I also ordered the UP Set and remember seeing the Lionel Shipping Schedule showing it as February ‘13. As a couple of recent threads have pointed out, trusting the accuracy of the Lionel schedule is, well, you know.
Nicholas Smith has them. Nice engines.
