I see no advantage to pre-orders unless it’s a speciality item I may think will sell out. Trains in general today don’t sell very quickly due to high prices and low demand. I’ve observed an over abundance of dealer stock at times in recent years. I also don’t like waiting a month after the product finally is released or not getting combined shipping as ordered items don’t all arrive at once. Some dealers are first to receive items, others seem to be on the bottom of the MFG. shipping list. P.O.’s really haven’t worked out for me. I’ll just wait for a holiday sale and buy it when it's actually on the dealers shelves. The Lionel items I ordered about a year ago still wont arrive until sometime this summer. Just no way to run a business.
