Lionel has shipped their first BTO engines (Yes, I know the Cab Forward came out but they are not done shipping all of them) the Berkshire. We just sold out yesterday of all our extra "Gold" versions and "Polar Express" and we don't have many more of the others. We were "swamped" in the last couple of days from customers looking for them. It seems either they waited to see what it would be like and guess what, they like it. Or they ordered it from someone who didn't have a "firm" order with their distrubutor. I fully expect the same to happen with the Cab Forwards, Big Boys and other BTO's. Now this is not a tactic to get you to buy one. By all means if they do nothing for you fine, but for those "sitting on the fence" make sure you have one ordered. If not from me then any of the fine dealers out there. Charlie.....
