I preordered the Ferromex SD70ACE in 2R (30138163) from Mr. Muffin's and understand the SD70s have now all been delivered to the US. Can anyone please advise on the delivery status of these?

@Paul Graf, I would also like to get an update on these Atlas, Premier, SD70ACe.
From following the updates on Atlas, Production Schedule, it appears that these were shipped in 3 partial shipments (so far), with the latest partial shipment, shipped on Dec 29. I am used to seeing products arrive in the US, around 6 weeks after these Container Shipping Dates but I still haven't received any notification from my dealer about the 2-rail, Union Pacific SD70ACe that I reserved.
From following other threads on these forums, I understood that the Canadian Pacific, Heritage SD70ACe and maybe the Norfolk Southern, SD70ACe were in the first partial shipment but it would be nice to know what road names were in the next 2 partial shipments.
Thanks,
Naveen Rajan

The units are here, and we are in the process of shipping orders, looks like Mr. Muffins' are on their way to them.

With the issues in the Red Sea, the transit times have increased by about 10 days. Throw in a snow storm that clogged the ports for a couple of days, and the Presidents' Day holiday, and this container took over 8 weeks to reach us. It is also one of the largest we have ever received, so it is going to take a little bit more time to finish processing.
Thanks Paul! Sorry to hear about the delays, glad to hear it's the largest container ever!
Despite what is currently stated on Atlas' Production Schedule, some of these have arrived at dealers.
I was surprised to hear from my dealer on Wednesday, March 6, that they received these models.
Since these were my first locomotive purchase in almost 8 years, I drove for most of the day, today and picked up them up myself.
I like the paint and graphics on both the Atlas, Premier models.
These are just my opinion,
Naveen Rajan

Thanks for making the FXE, I've been out and finally had a chance to grab a few photos.
Please consider for the next run of ES44ACs an FEC in the similar blue stripe Grupo Mexico scheme (FEC 816 & 820).

Definitely another vote here for the new FEC paint on the ES44s. Hoping to see Atlas and/or Lionel run those soon. Think they would be a big hit.
