Who did you order from?
Brendan
No shipping info via email for my C&NW or the GN and Reading GP's. I have seen sales on Ebay for the GP's with a delivery now quoted as 4 days where before they were listed as when delivered.

Here you go - a photo. Lionel did a great job on these !

My CC was hit today for the loco. Trainworld also hit me for the caboose.

16lbs of trains on the way from Ro!

Now your just bragging!

C&NW Baldwin and (I think) Southern waffle and a C&NW caboose. They both had expected 12/17 dates according to the site.

Must be a lot of waffles; my Baldwin only comes in at 3.4lbs
Brendan
Charles Ro sent me a notice. Mine will be here on the 26th according to the tracking number. Santa is one day late!!!!
I just love that C&NW green w/yellow stripe scheme! I think it all hails back to receiving a set like this one on Christmas morning, 1962:
When I unwrapped my set and saw that spectacular box art (in its pristine glory at the time), my imagination was stirred by the artistic (and in my opinion, very dramatic) nighttime rendering of the lowly little C&N yard switcher. I was hooked on model railroading for life!
Hm. Sorry for waxing nostalgic.
Merry Christmas! Hope all of you receive a ton of fun out of your new little AF Baldwins!

I wish Lionel would invest in a new Scale BLW S12 switcher for Us O scalers.
Andre
Pardon me while I pull out the dead horse...
This Baldwin has the potential to provide some diversity to the RTR line for Flyer.
But ohhhhh, I will save everyone from my high horse on that. I do have a whole stable full of them.

And we S guys wish Lionel would invest in one tenth of their O line for US!

How about a ‘Sharknose’, they had AAR type B trucks, would these be the same as on the current GP by Lionel, if so that cuts out new tooling costs.
Problem is they only had three operators from new but then they do fit in nicely era wise with other Flyer diesels.

Just got an email from Ro and looks like the GP's are in. Could be the rest of my 16lbs!

My PRR Baldwin and B&M GP7 arrived today!

Original Shark owners were EJ&E (very briefly owned 4, I think they were sold to the B&O), B&O, NYC, and PRR. Monongahela bought a small fleet from NYC, and the last 2 of those went to the D&H. The D&H units are now tucked out of view in Michigan. Add in the demonstrator paint scheme and that's quite a few ways to decorate a shark (and Pennsy and NYC went through several different schemes as well).
