Reply to "Train World"

Built to ordermeans to me that they won't build it until they get enough orders to build it in order to make some type of a profit off of the locomotive or whatever it is.  I don't know exactly how they do it but it seems logical that it would be done that way.  I'm assuming that you are talking about a Lionel locomotive.  Train World is just the dealer, it would be the same amount of time if it were Mr. Muffins Trains, or Nassau Hobbies or someone else.  I had ordered an AC-9 that was on the BTO program, if I remember correctly, it only took about 11-13 months, it may have been longer but I was really happy when I opened the box and all my waiting and wondering when it would get there just went out the window and I was a happy camper and never gave it another thought.  I don't think TW has any control over how long it takes, they are great to deal with and doubt if any of the dealers do either, my suggestion would be to call Lionel and ask them flat out how long it's going to be.
