Interesting, I may kitbash a 3-Rail O Scale RS to look like a Amtrak Matiemce shunter soon, those would be useful to run with it. And, did you hear about big little closing Zach?

Yes I have actually, I have gone there to pick up some ns heritage cabooses and Atlas Ho scale NJT Alp45dp and bombarider coaches. 

Charlie Ro has been showing an ETA of 1/10/2018 for about a month or two.  And no other dealer running "after Christmas" sales has shown any 21-inchers in stock yet either.  So I guess early 2018 is as good a planning time-frame as any.  I stepped away from these 21-inchers, so I'm watching more out of curiosity than anything.  Although I did order the AFT whose production is mixed in with the 21-inch sets.  Most of the AFT cars will be 18" display cars (based on the baggage car design).  And those aren't due until April... which really could imply a late-Spring / early-Summer arrival when all is said and done.

Hopefully Jan 10 will be the arrival date!

Indeed, then you'll hopefully have them before the Jan. Show, and if not you'll have them for Greenberg. 

You mean Greenberg show in August? Cause the March show was replaced by the Great American Hobby Show for this year.

Well, I'd say that the trip from the US from China is a long time depending on if they go around the pacific and though the Panama Canal or under china, past India, and then into the Atlantic. Hopefully they didn't end up like the Susquehanna 141 and there still afloat and on there way to the U.S.A. as we speak.

I emailed Ro about the broadway limited set to go with my GG1, they said the expected date is now March! (that was about 3 weeks ago).

That is because the Broadway limited set is coming in the 2nd round, which is supposed to show up at that time. I am specifically talking about the 1st shipment with just solely AMTRAK, Penn Central, and Southern Pacific.

Ok, thank you. United States Department of Commernce says it'll take two weeks to a month for them to arrive from china. So, my estimate is the end of January or at the latest mid February.
