990

Word is, they had to redesign the remote due to increase in size of components...here is what the remote looks like now:

A bit large for small room layouts, but you do get the "real life" feel experience

Think I may need to call my LHS and see about having mine delivered when it comes in, don't think that will fit in my car.

Hope you got Free Shipping!

Let's hope the "new" version of Legacy is not as problematic as the first.

I have the utmost confidence it will be.

Now if that doesn't have a familiar ring to it. 

Awww, our Little Riki has grow into AlanH

Now that is FUNNY!!  

SanteFeFan, please don't get any ideas for any new revisions from this post! 

Problem I see with this new design, you hit the reverse button, you get lemon juice in your eye.

Squirt! Squirt! Wink! Wink! Say no more!

Was at the Charles Ro website. They updated the 990 anticipated delivery date to 9/10/14.  They just basically pushed it back another month.  Not really good news.  But you never know. 

#990 in stock.

Anyone know if they made enough for all  the people waiting for these on backorder?

Thank You

Charles Ro is

NEVER WRONG!!!!!!

That means we should get shipping notices in 22 days. YAY!!!!!!

where?

Since no one knows how many are on order.. who knows

Charlie said they will have them next week

Lionel shows it in-stock on their store website at full retail, of course.

If it does deliver next week, I'm going to miss the comedy of this thread.

Like I said, I find this thread amusing.....

That's what makes Freedom of Speech Nice ;-)

will some of you waiting please post when you get yours?

#990 back in stock limited quantity.

Has anyone received a shipping notice for their 990 preorder yet? I'm still waiting. 

Several have received notice from Nassau, you may want to contact your dealer

Nassau stated yesterday they are due in today, begin shipping today/wednesday for those who pre-ordered.

I paid for mine in full yesterday!

Disappointed to see this thread end, it's been very entertaining.

Thanks for the updates. I preordered the 990 from Legacy Station. if I don't get a shipping notice by tomorrow I will call them. Yeah, I am a bit anxious after the super long delay. 

My Fastrack is quivering in anticipation of connecting to the 990 system!

I received my E-mail notification from Nassau Hobbies yesterday and I finalized payment on it today.  They should be shipping it out to me by tomorrow or the next day.  I am excited about receiving it. 

I will miss this thread as well.  Nothing like electronic swordplay. 

Sounds like the current supply is going fast, you will probably be able to start another thread soon.  I think MTH is out of DCS systems and has been for a little while, seeds for starting another thread.    Of course, I'm actually just kidding here. I already have a DCS system and will soon have a 990 also, so all is well.

I know they were out of DCS for a few months, but I thought they got them back in supply

According to my LHS it was a small supply, they didn't get all they had ordered. Now they have been waiting for a couple months again for the remainder of the order. Sure hope they weren't using the same part Lionel had trouble with.

Yay! Legacy Station shipped my 990! $299 preorder price/ no tax / free shipping!

after initially canceling mine, I got a call anyway from legacy station that they had it. I took it. Hopefully no regrets. $299.00 here too, but I had to pay $13.00 shipping.  

Send an email to Brian Sheffield at sales@legacystation.com along with your order number. He will credit the shipping. It was a computer error. Brian just credited the shipping fee back to my credit card. Do it right away And get your shipping free like I did. 

Having given up, I canceled my original pre-order months ago.

Late last week I placed a new "pre-order" with Charles Ro, the shipping notice just came through a few minutes ago, will be here on Thursday. $299.00 plus shipping of around $9.00.

Happy camper here, but I've only been waiting for around six/seven months, unlike a lot of y'all.

Best,

Jason

Just got a Call from Wild Bills,I can get mine anytime!!!!!!

It's here.....now what do I do with it? 

Open the box!

Read the info.

Plug in and charge the handheld (after inserting batteries)

Hook up and program engines and then run and have fun.

Any problems, let us know!

There alot of great minds on the forum that can help!

Good advice Dennis. Hopefully the 990 system isn't as complex as that.  

I edited it afterward!

I saw that. LOL.  Actually looking forward to a new system and learning all about it the way I did with DCS.  This forum has always helped.  Any advice adapting this to an already established layout with DCS is greatly appreciated.

I learned the hard way and it took me awhile to get it all down as there is sooo much there going on.

But I will say, I still pick new things / ideas / shortcuts from watching and talking with other users!
