Statement above true...O motive not a priority at Atlas.Nice rolling stock though.

Absolutely agree.  The F7's are currently showing an ETA of 4Q2015.  If they arrive in January, that will pretty much be on-target.  And Atlas-O's track record just doesn't support that kind of delivery.  

 

When I hear folks talking April-ish, I immediately conclude that's wishful thinking if and only if EVERYTHING goes as planned.  We know that seldom happens, which is why I'm thinking June 2016 at the earliest.  In fact, one dealer even mentioned that date as "somewhat realistic" to me.  And a 6-month slippage for Atlas-O locomotive production/delivery would still be viewed as "pretty good" and a step in the right direction by many folks here, myself included.

 

Managing expectations is everything these days.  That's just the way it is.

As recently as Monday, I was told that it would be January..... Pretty much all sold out at Atlas..... I've taken them down for additional orders on my website until they get here..... I ordered some extras - so we will see what's still available when they get here..... Thanks
