While at Charles Ro today, I observed the new Cab Forward.  WOW!  A few of the numbers came in.  I ordered the 4294 and will have to hold out for a few more days before it comes in.  One very impressive locomotive.

*Whew*  What a relief, I was ready to cringe when I opened up the link to your thread as I was expecting to see a picture of that "Daylight" abomonation version. 

 

Glad to see it's a picture of the version in the paint scheme it was meant to have. 

 

I noticed with interest that they still retained the plated "sidewalls" on the driver wheels like the 2005 release.  I was expecting that it would be chemically blackened this time around to reflect them in regular service since the "whitewalls" was really for the builder's photos that Baldwin took, but I actually don't mind that; it's an easy thing to fix using a little Locomotive Black.

Well, if the Lionel website shipping schedule is to be believed, the Daylight CF's are due to ship in Nov 2014 (which is fine for me).  Has anyone spotted the Daylight version in stores already?  If so, please chime in here. The shipping schedule has admittedly never been known for its accuracy.  In fact, just the opposite is true.

Tell us what Daylight cars you will use with your new Daylight CF. For me, it will be a ten car set of K-Line 21" Lightweight Daylights.

To answer your Question: I have a Williams All Metal 16" (with Diaphrams) 8 Car Set that I will pull with the NEW Daylight Cab Forward!!!

 

Can't wait. I pull them with a Legacy GS2 now!!

It's not 100% clear from what we've heard thus far which CF units have actually shipped -- some of which could have been initial/partial shipments.    So until we get more G2 from the field, here's the latest from the Lionel website as of July 30th:

 

  • 6-11463 (CF #4291) and 6-11464 (CF #4286) are listed with a Lionel shipping ETA of September 2014
  • 6-11462 (CF #4294) and 6-11465 (Daylight CF #4275) are listed with a Lionel shipping ETA of November 2014
  • 6-11469 (Pilot CF) is no longer listed, which would imply Lionel has made a full shipment of this SKU to dealers/distributors.
