Everything that has been said here about the Big Boy project not proceeding IS THE SAME as what was said about the CHALLENGER project and the PENNSYLVANIA caboose project. Probably worse things were said about those projects and both of those WERE IMPORTED eventually. Kohs actually rejected an entire lot of the Pennsy cabooses for quality issues and they were sold out from under him in a hotel room during a show. Sheeeesh! We've been led down this road before. When I was buying the Y6 engines back in the early 2000's THE SAME THINGS were also said. If you are a high end train buyer and were awake at any time for the past 20 years, you'd know how this train rolls.
Since this has been the way of it for 20 years, I'd say sure 5 years is a long time, too long for my taste, and might be 1 year longer than the last project which was 1 year longer than the previous project. Considering the announcement date as the start of the clock in 0 scale IS LAUGHABLE though. But after hearing about every project that wouldn't be imported for the past 20 years, and then watching the projects actually get imported, I'll take the comments with a grain of salt. Still, I don't envy those who have money tied up who are concerned if Kohs is going to get hit by a bus or something.
Your a trustworthy man and a patient man. Hope you'll stay young enough to enjoy it if it ever comes.
But taking someone's money for a project with no updates, or when promised project is completed or stages of the project. Then following with words that a pilot sample was late in coming with then promising pictures of the sample yet not following through with those that have put hard cash into a project that is decades old, is on the verge if not already "Fraud". Ask this simple question of any Lawyer. Reading these post and yes even posting my thoughts, I decided to call my neighbor who is a Lawyer and put all the facts for him down and even gave him this Forum to read and when he had time, call me on what his opinion was. Interesting. If your tired of waiting and want a refund for outlay, contact your Lawyer. Continuing discussions here, won't solve the problems. But you who have made a deposit, my sympathy.
