Mike said at York yesterday and the delivery date for FlyerChief Polar Express is about 8 months from now. Seems a major hurdle causing delays and headaches for Lionel was the Chinese factory shortcomings in correctly gauging the P.E. cars wheels. That's finally been rectified and now the cars and tenders are finished and just waiting for the locomotive. Mike also confirmed the announcements are ALL NEW for that set or not a rehash of those from the LionChief 10th anniversary set offering. Great news for those who.ve long awaited this set and plan on having it around their 2015 holiday tree.
