Don't have a cow... 

Seriously, look at all the February and March dates.  March is almost gone and February has past.  With Lionel and hobby shops closed, nothing's shipping anyway.  Even if the factories are up and running, they're probably not at 100% output yet and who knows when they will be.

Plus, given the situation since January, the schedule is probably pretty much out the window anyway.

If that is true Rusty, why in the world post an obviously defunct schedule?

When was the last time a delivery schedule was accurate? 

As long as Lionel and others are shut down, the point is moot and things aren't going to go back to normal at the snap of the fingers or click of a keyboard.  When things finally "normalize," it will take time to return to pre C-19 operations.

Frankly, right now I could care less about what I have on order and am more concerned that my local grocery stores get their supply chains back to normal (they are, slowly) and I don't have to stand six feet away from anyone.

Anyone noticed that the schedule hasn't been updated in over 2 months now? The Bush Funeral train was slated for June 2020 availability, but no one's seen hide nor hair. I'm wondering if the shipping schedule is showing  when the containers are loaded onto the ships--not when they're due to arrive at dealers. Does anyone happen to know?

Better check your info.  People have the Bush Funeral train in their hands … at least some people started to receive them this week.  Better check when your dealer will be shipping yours.  The ship date indicated is the estimate of when the items ship out of Lionel's warehouse in North Carolina.

Thanks so much quick reply! I’ll call the dealer tomorrow-I hadn’t heard a thing from them and last I checked in with them a couple of weeks ago the jury was still out. Thanks also for the insight re the dates reflecting shipping out of NC. Great to know!

Right, it was about 2 months ago but that was a fairly comprehensive update, especially given Lionel's track record on schedules. This current schedule has just about everything (notice I say just about) that's been cataloged through 2020, Volume 1. As usual, the end of the calendar year is top (bottom?)  heavy with lots of arrivals.

Any updates on the 0-6-0T locos? The list says December, but we're running out of December.

Unfortunately, no word on those. Lionel did deliver some of the "December arrivals" recently and those are at most dealers now. Based on the number of posts about the 0-6-0Ts there are quite a few of us in waiting mode.

The shipping schedule looks jam-packed for the month of December. I have the 0-6-0t and a few other products on order due this month. That being said I will be very surprised if they arrive this month due to all the shipping impacts etc... I'm sure the folks at lionel are doing their best. I do believe in the Scott Man philosophy that I don't want my expensive trains shipped during the holiday rush. Although my inner 9 yr old would be thrilled at a Christmas surprise

I was just on Trainworld website as Im looking to get a Vision GS-4 and they moved the arrival date to March 2021..Charles Ro and the Lionel schedule still shows Dec

I know that Trainworld is wrong about that shipping date. I spoke to Ryan from Lionel last week and he told me they’re trying very hard to get the trains shipped out before Christmas, but the boat carrying the trains only had 2 out of the 5 or 6 shipments. Expect the GS series to be sent to you around very late December or by mid-January. Not sure if Trainworld has issues with getting deliveries but there’s an extremely low chance the train isn’t going to be released by the end of January.

Thanks Lisa! .. I don’t have one on order I will grab one once they show up.. I live in Mass so Charles Ro charges sales tax which is significant.. Train world doesn’t
