Charles Ro is very reliable when it comes to obtaining Lionel product.  If they're telling you they'll be able to get something for you, they will.  And if they can't, they'll let you know that as well.

I ordered both the 4 car and 2 car packs from Charles Ro back in February 2011 and finally received the 2 car pack from Charles Ro this August.  Unfortunately, I am still waiting for them to ship to me the 4 car pack. 

 

Based on your message, I emailed Charles Ro's Customer Service and just got the following response back from them, "Still on backorder due in November", which is a bit strange particularly if you have already received your 4 car pack from Charles Ro.

At the very least, I sure hope Lionel matched production quantities between the 2-pack and 4-pack.  Wouldn't be the first time that they didn't, but it's odd if the 4-pack containing the observation would be the "under-produced" item.    Add-on's are under-produced all the time, and it always makes for interesting pricing behaviors!

Just to be very clear here... we are talking about the newly produced Lionel 6-25622 four-pack and 6-25623 two-pack, first featured with the S-3 locomotive back in the 2010 Volume 2 catalog.  It's ironic to go back to this catalog now and see the "All Items for 2011 Delivery" button splashed across the page!!!     Best laid plans, I suppose.  

 

These are NOT the K-Line by Lionel version.

You're hung up on 2012 for some reason ... but these were first catalog'd in Lionel's 2010 Volume 2 with the S-3 locomotive, and then again in 2011 Signature (i.e., vol 1) on a half-page devoted to scale passenger cars.  Never in a 2012 catalog that I'm aware.

 

In any event, it's been a VERY long wait... and hopefully Lionel didn't under-produce them for all the MR fans who loved the S-3 and want a great passenger train.
