I preodered from TrainWorld two GE EVO Hybrids Railking 2010 and 2015, It said shipping on October 2015, they may meet that deadline so I am assuming the middle of November to the beginning of December. My friend Matt bought a Premier GS-4 a few years ago, and it took two years to get to him. I am praying they get here before I die!
Did you preorder anything cool?

Many of the Lionel command control accessories from the newest catalog. Funding was exhausted before I got all of them. Had to leave a few behind. Hoping they will still be around for a while so I can catch up.
Only this which is due dec 2015:
No. 98 Coal House
Because of financial difficulties right now I decided to skip preordering. But the last MTH catalog was a big one, and I plan on getting a few things that I wanted as money permits. The NS Office Car Special, the CSX Safety Train, the 2015 Hybrid Demo, the NS, BNSF, and NextFuel Demos GE ES44's in botth #'s.

I did have until last Friday when I picked up my monorail from Pat's Trains! I have nothing else on pre-order.

Since Atlas recently broke my heart by cancelling the EMD switchers ... lol .... I told Nicholas Smith to switch my order to the Legacy ALCO switchers.
I sold other engines to be able to buy these switchers .... I need them badly. We'll see about the stated Aug 2015 ship date. 
lol

I really want to see the new Lionel SD40's, I have a BN ordered.
I have a bunch of Lionel and MTH cars on order, but I can't remember which ones. When boxes show up on the doorstep, I drag them in and stick them on the shelf with all the other unopened ones. I no longer get excited about these things.
Waiting for the lionmaster up challenger. My first legacy engine.
I preordered the LionChief Plus FT ABA set. Set for November delivery.
Third Rail SD7 & SD9 in CNW. By the way, I'll be putting up an MTH CNW Rail King SD9 Power/Dummy pair w/Proto-2 up for sale when the Third Rail units arrive.
MTH ATSF GP38-2's (Scale Wheels)
MTH Big Boy 4014 (Scale Wheels)
I'm done for the year.
Looking forward to the Aerotrain arriving that is on preorder.
I think I have one or two freight cars on order.
I am however looking forward to my MTH Premier Long Island 44 ton switcher to arrive.
Lionel Smoke Fluid Loader from 2011 Volume 2.
Latest (or most recent I heard) info from Lionel was it's challenges have been understood and mitigated and the delivery will now hopefully happen in early 2016.

I have two items remaining on order. The MTH Pennsylvania 44 Ton Engine and the MTH Pennsylvania RS-27 Dummy Engine. I just picked up some pre-orders including an MTH Pennsylvania RS-1 and after a 2 year wait I finally received my MTH Pennsylvania BB-1s.
Not a thing right now......playing with what I have.....but that can change....
GGD N&W Powhatan Arrow seven car set. Hopefully it will be here in time for our club display at the Science Museum of Richmond. I sold off almost all of my MTH 18" N&W passenger cars in anticipation of getting this set. I kept only a few cars for my "locals". I am also waiting for one 18" N&W Heavyweight RPO to run with my 3rd Rail N&W M, for my Va. Creeper.
Lots of stuff from the most recent MTH catalog but, more immediately, 3rd Rail Yellowbonnets
3rd Rail F7's, especially the Yellow Warbonnets.
2 - MTH One Gauge Big Boys
UP FEF & Challenger from USA Trains...whenever Charles Ro decides to make them 
Lionel Lion Chief + NW-2 Switchers.
Tim,
Yep the new Legacy Crane Car!

My list of pre-orders goes from nothing to very large depending on what items the recent Lionel and MTH catalogs have. Right now, my preorder list is quite long:
Lionel
BNSF ES44AC
FEC ES44AC
NS ES44AC (both road numbers)
Polar Express Aquarium Car
Winter Wonderland Aquarium Car
MTH
NS F-7 (ABBA)
NS Passenger Cars (5 car set plus diner, coach, vista dome, and RPO cars)
PFE Reefer 6 car set (Due next month 
)
DCS WiFi module
1. I have learned not to anxiously await anything from MTH; the published shipping dates are almost never adhered to and I am sure that they wait to accumulate a certain number of orders before putting any of the stuff I am interested in into production.
2. Lionel is somewhat more predictable. In about 5 months time they are meant to be shipping both (a) the Legacy crane and boom cars and (b) the ABS 21" streamlined passenger cars. I'm getting mine from Charlie Nassau and I know they'll ship to me as soon as they come in. I will not hold my breath however expecting them to arrive by X-mas!
I have a Lionel NS ES44AC on order (expected shipping in December) and that's it.
Was hoping to put the Atlas Maxi-Stacks on preorder, but, unfortunately they were not in the latest catalog! No worries, though, gives me a few extra dollars (for now) to put towards the layout rebuild. Guess the planned monies will go to RCS instead.

Since getting back to model railroading 6 years ago, I've only bought O gauge items but now awaiting the September arrival of an S gauge Polar Express set and add on cars. This will be my only S gauge set other than a late 1940's set given to me as a child.
Have ALL the 0-27, semi-scale P.E. sets and items from Lionel but unfortunately, no room for a layout large enough to handle the higher end, detailed scale offerings.
Looking forward to this "equivalent of a LionChief Plus" P.E. loco. and cars with their simulated snowy roofs as seen in the movie and book.
Have some O locos preordered too, and if lucky, they'll arrive as scheduled in early 2016 (lol).
The MTH Aero Train, been wanting one of these guys for years.
Bill T.
Atlas O Trainman Penn Central U23B - I have been waiting on this for years. I think there is light at the end of the tunnel
Lionel Penn Central GP30 - Should be here tomorrow according to the UPS notification I got today.
Lionel Penn Central N5B cabin car - Looks to be a month or so away according to the shipping reports.
My train fund is gonna take a big hit in the very near future.
Tom

It seems like I always have stuff on pre-order. By the time the items I have on order now get here the next catalog will have arrived and more stuff goes on the order list. I think its a conspiracy.
Patiently waiting for Lionel's TMCC/Legacy gantry crane due in December.
Lionel Legacy Southern Railway Alco PAs and the 21" Southern Railway passenger cars.
Neal Jeter
GGD Harriman cars. Can't wait.
Cancelling an MTH preorder tomorrow. Been 14 months since order and it just slid right again. Done waiting on them.
