November's probably an optimistic delivery date. Pretty sure the O Gauge BTO's will suck up the most of the manufacturing schedule for 2016.

Hay Rusty they hit the mark on the Berkshires so why not the Northerns?

After a year's delay from initially announcing them as set locomotives... Plus, their components were probably run and inventoried the same time as the Polar Express locomotives, they just needed some time on the paint line.

If the Northerns come in in November, fine. There will be a lot of happy folks. But, there's a lot of big-buck BTO O gauge being promised, and I suspect they will be the priority.

I would expect January 2017 at the earliest.

Doesn't really matter to me as I won't be ordering a Northern anyways. As I mentioned earlier, I have no real affinity for the Flyer Northern, even with it being a decent model of the UP FEF-1.
