Watching it get pushed back to November I got nervous, and against what my bank account said I took a chance and pre-ordered the Lionel K4, as it had an earlier shipping date. I had to take a chance. I had never been able to give me son a high end loco from Santa, and since he is 7 years old, I knew this may be the last chance before he no longer believes.
To make the rest of the story short, as we all know, both locomotives made it before Christmas. I want to thank all the forum members here for keeping me on the tracks through this whole anxious process for me. And a special thanks to RickO, who has followed most of my posts since my issues with the Mohawk, and has really put me in my place for the better when I needed it. Many of us here can sometimes get a little crazy about these "toy" trains, and he has a great knack for reminding us that these simply are toys meant to be enjoyed.
So that's it! After about a year and a half everything worked out Great this year!
Thanks for everything guys!
