I do not have inside info, purely outsider here.  I posted this wish on a thread earlier this year.  I also email emailed Scott Mann, he replied that this is on his list but has to complete projects already in the works.  I think that sounds promising. 

Well, I - we - are still waiting (4 years+, I do believe) for the NYC R-2 freight electrics. I've e-mailed...no luck. But it's still in the catalogue, last time I looked, so I assume enough orders. Other things have been announced, built and shipped in that time.

This has stopped me from pre-ordering another item or two that appealed to me.

It's an unpleasant experience - no loco, but no cancellation. So until one or the other...no more 3rd Rail for me.

(Except ERR electronics - ordered some this week.)

There are not enough orders for the NYC / CSS&SB electrics at this point. A number of locomotives have been announced , but, until sufficient orders are received they will not be put in to production. Some, such as the B&O EL-3 and 5 locomotives have been removed from the reservation list due to insufficient orders. 

Others are still on the reservation list. This is due to the fact that there are a reasonable number of reservations, but not enough to move forward with production. In the case of the B&O EL locomotives 20 reservations says it will not sell 100 or so units. If there are 40-50 or so reservations then the locomotive will most likely stay on the reservation list for some time period.
