I note that the "ship date" on the Lionel Shipping Schedule for the scale Mikados has changed from February to March. (They were originally scheduled for last fall)
So, Lionel putting it off a few weeks like that means they must know where they are? And, a March delivery is a pretty good bet?
(I'm very eager .... I have a few engines pre-ordered .... and I had to sell stuff to buy this stuff for the most part .... I NEED engines! Lol.

The GP30s have been removed from the list. Possibly means shipped, but who knows anymore.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but at least they updated the schedule.
Forget what it was, but saw something with Nov '14 as a ship date last week and it is not here yet. Sometimes it's just anyone's guess about these things?
No. My experience is it means nothing. Likely as not someone was told to update the shipping schedule and had no information and figured "I'll just add one month, easiest thing to do."
I was told by my LHS the Mikados are suppose to be in one of the 3 shipments due in for March. We shall see.
I would tend to agree that the best bet for knowing when equipment will arrive is Charlie Nassau's posts. You can RELY ON HIS INFO.
The schedule was last updated February 27, I think the "Mikes" were set for March an update or two prior to that.
The Pocahaontas Sets were just recently delivered, over 2 years after they were announced.
Theres probably still some delivery date "fudge room", on this "partially new" offering.
I just hope its not a "dud".
