Wow! No pre orders in 30 years! I am finding just the opposite experience after taking a break from the hobby for six years. Before my hiatus. Lionel would make a ton of stuff and you could always find what you are looking for at blow out prices long after release.

Now that I have come back and have just discovered Lionel’s Legacy system I am on a locomotive buying spree to catch up. However, it’s not like the old days. Trying to find a Providence and Worcester SD70 that just came out: gone! How about the Legacy Central Vermont RS-11? The one that no one likes because of the “wrong” paint scheme? Can’t find one anywhere. People that have them aren’t giving them up either. It’s a very different market out there than just a few years ago. To me, if you want the good high end stuff, preorder it if you like it.

Just to update: thanks to PH1975 I now have that Providence and Worcester SD70!
yeah! Thank you PH1975
