Arrived today.  There are certain events you never forget and can remember exactly where you were when they happened.  The assassination of President Kennedy, 9/11, and, Apollo 11 landing on the moon.  IMO this boxcar captures the essence of that event and I'm glad I can include it in my collection.

Looks great! I’m waiting for the one I ordered from LHS.

Great that these are out for the anniversary day. Although this must be easier for Lionel to get out since there is a limited qty and made in USA.

Lionel turned my order around in less than a week. It really is a stunning car. I have the other Smithsonian space related car. Super pair to display and run.

I don't believe the dealers have them in yet. I have one on order from Just Trains and haven't received a phone call to pick it up yet.

It looks like Ro & Trainworld are still taking orders an their web site.

I'm wondering if Lionel is running off a second batch.  Trainworld is taking backorders for and August delivery.

I believe they list items that are not in stock yet as "Taking Backorders". If you look at items from the Lionel 2019 Vol 2 cat., they all show as  "Taking Backorders". I would call to confirm.

It looks like only people that ordered directly from Lionel have received their car so far.
