So that means that there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of Lionel parts that are sitting in Limbo! They are not available from Lionel and North Lima has a reputation of not shipping when they feel like it. Those parts are untouchable by anyone! They just sit there!
It seems to me that Lionel should address the problem and buy back their parts from Lima so that they can actually serve a purpose and be available to people who need them. Then Lionel can remove the annoying "Available from North Lima Trainworks."
