We have some Lionel Big Boy 4014s left for $1989.96

You aren't going to be able to ship these fast enough once everyone who didn't order one realizes what they are missing. 

 

It's going to be an epic locomotive.

 

I can't wait to see the videos, pictures, and experience it firsthand. 

Do you have any big boys with the road number of 4012? I don't see them on your website.

 

Chris

Can I give you $40. month for 4 years?

Steve... I will take a 4014! Please confirm... Can I call you Monday and make payment? Also I received my order from you today.... Thanks... Great doing business with you.

Thanks
Steve

Chris - I already sold all of my 4012s so I took it off the website. Sorry. If one opens up, I will let you know. 

 

Thanks, PE3! I will put you down for one. 

 

I am am an eastern road guy, but after seeing Mike Reagen's video, I am keeping one! I already ordered freight cars for it, and a cabeese. 

Thanks Steve!

Steve... On the 4014... What is the lionel number?  6- ?

6-11437

Thank you!

Oh, for O72 curves.  

Steve, any idea when the mth RS 3s will ship? I have one on order with you.

Fred

I believe MTH shipped everything but the NKP - they were planning to cancel it and then reconsidered - so it was delayed.... I will call and check on Monday - we have a lot of them coming for all of the NKP fans.....

Eastern location.  The one Big Boy at Steamtown, Scranton, PA is 4012.

Before paint 2010.

Unfortunately, recent trip to Steamtown, the new paint is coming off.

I didn't order a big boy and think I will have tough time finding the one I want (4012). I hope maybe Lionel will allow orders in the future.

Hi Steve, I pre-ordered a VL Big Boy from a local dealer, who called me today to say that he wouldn't have the train in by Christmas. Are you in the same boat? If you can get me one by Christmas (a 4014), I'd be happy to take one and cancel my local order. Please advise ASAP and thanks so much!

I think we are all in the same boat. Likely 4 days to the east coast from CA, then they have to be distributed from there, then the retailer gets his to ship. We will see. I've got nearly 100 Monon F3s and passenger cars to ship this week - it will be crazy! 

 

Thanks for the sage advice MartyE. That being said, I patronize my local dealer a lot, and all year long. So for me, it's more of a priority to get one for my son on Christmas morning if I can.

Can anyone recommend perhaps a California dealer to contact who is close to the distribution point and might get one a few days earlier to be able to FedEx to me in time? Thanks for any help you can get.

It'll cost more but have you thought about asking your LHS request overnight delivery from their distributer? They'll deliver on Christmas day if you pony up to the price..

I was at a local, small USPS office yesterday to ship a few small items out via Priority Mail... and the clerk could hardly walk among all the packages that were dropped off there yesterday!    Have never seen it that crazy.

 

David

 

If the shipping companies will be pushed beyond their absolute limit, this could likely be the year it happens.  What I personally saw yesterday at the post office... and what I experienced at a big UPS depot/hub about a week ago when I picked up a package I had held-for-pickup was unreal.  Imagine being in Manhattan during rush hour... and all the cars being brown UPS trucks and big 18-wheelers.  That's what the local UPS hub felt like around 8PM that evening.    Had to be there to believe it.

 

David

MartyE, just wanted to clarify... you didn't offend me, and sorry if my reply sounded like I was offended. Your advise WAS sage, and I'm going to find a way to make Christmas morning nice without the actual Big Boy in hand. Hopefully it will make it before New Year's. Thanks, David O.

 

Well I ordered my Big Boy tonight and got 4012. This will be my first vision line locomotive. I can't wait to get it. I was told it will ship on the 29th.

 

Chris

You're in for a treat!  It'll be fantastic and I haven't even got to see mine yet!

 

I have the Vision Line Challengers and they are without equal.  Should be interesting to see the advances in technology over the last few years compared to the VL BB.

 

I can't wait either, starting to get really excited!

Yes it will be sweet. I am just getting back into the hobby and had to have the big boy. I guess I should order a legacy system. I am putting the cart before the horse here. The one I ordered is special since the real 4012 is 15 minutes from my house. I guess I need to make a decent order to mega steam since the big boy has all those smoke units.

Crood58 - we still have Legacy systems in stock. 

Thanks Steve for the info! Maybe after Christmas. Hopefully getting money from Santa and then I can purchase a Legacy System.

 

Chris

Ok, I might be a stale Muffin, but I had our Big Boys held up at the distributors for a couple of days. I know from my big box retail experience that shipping right now with all this volume and temporary workers can be dangerous, so ours will arrive first on next week. 

 

I still have some extras, particularly 4014's, so call us or visit our website to get yours. 

 

All the best, and thanks for the support. When we started this to support our layout a year ago I had no idea that we would move so many trains. It's been crazy! 

 

Steve.......
