Does anyone have one yet? I believe they said at York that they were to be out the last week of April.

I have not seen a hard copy. I looked through it on-line and ordered the Premier PRR S-1 and UP Propane Turbine around the Friday after York.
The hard copies are not out yet, look at it online. There will be no hard copies in another couple of years if not sooner, they will all be digital from all the train makers.
I requested and received a copy of their "S" Gauge catalog.
On-line catalog is here:

I ordered the R17 subway which will be produced in original maroon as opposed to the cardinal red shwon in the catalog. I also ordered the 2 car addons for both R17 paint schemes, and all 3 offered subways - R17 Maroon, R17 silver/blue and R142 on flat cars.

David,
Do you have "inside information" from all the train makers, or is your statement just an opinion?
I don't doubt that more and more manufacturers will post their catalog online but eliminating paper copies totally may be farther off than a couple of years.
MTH announced, in advance, that their catalog would be delayed by about two weeks. A previous post on the forum stated that the catalogs have arrived at MTH.

You can be quite sure it's just his opinion. Online stuff certainly has its place, but there's also a whole lot to be said for having hard copies available to consumers who don't wish to spend their lives in front of a flat screen. Thank God there are still some folks like that around, and I hope they're here for more than just a couple of years!
Yes what I posted is just my opinion but I do believe it will happen sooner rather then later.
I rather have the hard copy but times do change and it's coming faster then we realize.
