I used to frequently see dealers post the "Now Shipping" updates from MTH, maybe every week or two. I haven't seen one in quite some time. Is there one I missed or is just nothing shipping to dealers now or in the near future?

We typically release the shipping schedule to M.T.H. Authorized Retailers around the 1st and 15th of the month, unless no shipments are slated to arrive during that period. A new list will be sent to the retailers today, August 2nd, covering shipments slated to arrive on or before the 15th of August. On August 16th, another list will be sent out covering shipments slated to arrive between August 16th and August 31st.
Keep in mind that the products featured in the above referenced lists must still pass a final inspection upon arriving in our Maryland distribution facility before they are shipped out to retailers. Subscribers to the M.T.H. E-Newsletter will receive notice of products that HAVE shipped to retailers. Those announcements generally run about one to two weeks after an item has arrived in-stock.
That post was from 2016 and may have an expiration date?

Since the "old" MTH and it's structure are long gone, I suspect this thread has certainly expired!

According to an email I just got from Mr. Muffin, the 44 tonners are in at MTH and shipping to dealers this week. The email also state that MTH got a container in last week, will get one this week and then yet another next week. So i expect there will be a lot of MTH products hitting dealers in the next month or so.
GRJ, time goes slowly on Staten Island.
Mr. Muffin does a very good job of passing on information like that. That is what we need. The manufacturer doesn't tell us anything. I thought Patrick's Trains was going to be a MTH spokesman after he posted info a few months back.
Mr. Muffin is a very customer-conscious, customer-oriented merchant. I recall seeing him offer assistance to non-customers, no charge.
I've been waiting on a PRR express box car from mth were due last August still waiting ordered from Muffins.
IIRC MTH is almost 2 years out on their last passenger cars.
There were some rumblings that a shipment of custom 36" reefers had arrived in December. I have a few on order but I haven't heard anything from the dealers yet. I imagine they will start trickling in soon.
I'm still waiting on my express reffer from MTH due last August a PENNSY RS1 AND A PENNSY SD9 were due last December and a GP35 due this Feb. I sure hope they so up soon. Trainchaser
I know this is older post but I noticed MTH has not updated their every 2 week shipping schedule for the last 2 periods. I guess that just means nothing is arriving?

Well, I know some things that have come in. A very old complaint, but wouldn't it be nice if the shipping schedules were more accurate? It doesn't inspire confidence when an expected shipping date had come and gone, and has not been updated.
