Anyone know whats going on with RMT? Seems like they aren't making anything and just clearing out their inventory.

For 2014, RMT BY AristO® will re-introduce the MP-15 locomotive. However, any previous K-line or K-line by Lionel production of specific roadnumber will not be repeated allowing each railroad series to continue.
The MP-15 locomotive will feature dual motors, 8-wheel drive with traction tires, electronic reversing unit, operating couplers, metal chassis, front and rear directional headlights, metal handrails and upgraded painting decoration.
BOXCAB LOCOMOTIVE:
Expected late 2013 delivery.
Originally designed jointly by K-Line Electric Trains of Chapel Hill, NC and RMT® in early 2000, the BOXCAB was actually produced only as a K-line by Lionel product 2005-2010 as an 0-27 locomotive.
For mid-2014 arrival, RMT BY AristO® will re-introduce the BOXCAB locomotive. A new chassis has been developed that uses the durable RMT® BEEP® mechanism along with a solid frame, additional lighting features, interior cab figures and more.
However, any previous KBL production of specific roadNUMBER will not be repeated allowing each RAILroad series to continue along with new railroad names not previously offered.
The BOXCAB locomotive will feature dual motors, 4-wheel drive with traction tire, electronic reversing unit, operating couplers, front and rear directional headlights, metal handrails and upgraded painting decoration.
I do not think that anyone really knows for sure. They have never even delivered the club BEEP that I paid for over a year ago.
I do like what I have gotten and hope to see it improve.
seems to me like I've seen the owner of RMT posting on this forum from time to time.
maybe a kind note in his direction will get your locomotive shipped Captaincog.

Wasn't RMT going to bring out the former k-line TTAX sets and new trailers as well? I wonder haw that is comming along?
RMT has shown pre-production samples of the TTAX cars and trailers at previous TCA York Meet. Also shown in RMT color catalog.
These items (and many others) are scheduled for production or already in production for delivery starting in 2014.
