Who all that ordered one of the Vision GS's have received theirs and from what dealer did you order? Trainworld still says they expect to get my Express Freight Set march 28th even though Legacy Station seems to have gotten all of their orders in and shipped. I have never seen such a big difference in dealers getting shipments from lionel.

Trainworld lists their Lionel arrival dates a little different than most dealers. Lionel tells them that the product will arrive in Q1 2021. Well, Q1 ends at the end of March, hence why it says it is expected by 3/28. It is likely that they already have the sets in stock, they are just sorting them out before they are shipped out.
We just had a major snowstorm here in New York and they have been shut down the past 2 days so I am sure that is not helping them either.
I received my vision gs 4 freight set Friday from Legacy Station and just sent the engine and tender back because the tender wasn't getting signals from the engine
The only Vision GS I've received from last spring's order is the LCCA one. A real beauty.
Runs nicely, too.
Bruk, when you have a chance can you share some photos of your new GS-1? I’ve been dying to see a painted one and I’m still waiting for mine from Trainworld.

Lionel is in Concord, NC. Legacy Station is near Atlanta. With that proximity they will almost always be one of the first dealers to get product.

I wondered about that too, but it may not be a case of when the dealers got the shipment from Lionel, but what was dealers' own situations when they did.
Obviously dealers in the northeast quarter of the country have recent severe weather issues to contend with. However, besides that, I think Lionel may have delivered a big quantity of products all at once. There was a lot that was supposed to arrive pre-Xmas in December but didn't, including the GS engines. So I think the big East Coast dealer I mostly use (who shall remain nameless) might have an unusually high volume of products on hand, which has got to be sorted for shipping out. Someone doing a smaller volume of orders would get through them sooner.

Looks great. Kinda wish I ordered one.
Are the number boards blank? They look like clear plastic with no numbers in your pictures.

They are I’m about to post about it.
Thanks for posting the photos. Is it just me or does the Williams pilot seem long and pointy? They traditionally were pretty shallow. I’ll have to look at some prototype photos and compare
