Where are you looking? Using the catalog I did a product number search and found these.

paigetrain - Since the first two digits of Lionel's seven digit product number indicate the year the product is to be delivered (in this case 2022 for the Genesis), and has been said numerous times on this Forum - shipments are often delayed for various reasons, it's going to be awhile yet before the Genesis engines arrive on North America's shores. Consequently you're just going to have to be patient like all the rest of the people waiting for their train product of choice. 🙏

Finally, a sensible decision. I see enough graffiti on trains in the real world, I don't need to see it on my RR at home.

He's talking about the Amtrak Genesis not the Gensets. The Lionel site shows them in their product listing just not in the store. I'm pretty sure the panic is premature.
Hoping/planning to get all four versions. Can wait patiently for as long as it takes, as I have done for so many other trains in O and other scales. The way things are these days, in this economy and throughout the world, shipping schedules mean little or nothing. Too many variables involved.
i don't know if was clear enough in my original post but what i meant was that the lionchief 2.0 p42 genesis was removed from the lionel STORE website like you can't even put in a pre order cuz its just not there
in fact if you type genesis in the search bar you get no results but the funny thing is they are still up for preorder on trainworld's website which i don't understand
why would lionel remove the preorder listing if they weren't cancelled?
hopefully its clearer now what i'm saying
Who knows why it's not listed on the Lionel Store site. It's still on their product page and so far no retailer or Lionel has announced it was cancelled. Until that happens it's not worth worrying about.
They may still be awaiting final licensing approval from Amtrak.
they are still listed on other websites too so Allan and Marty may be right about me panicking for nothing
i know there is more amtrak coming for 22 like more p42s , amfleets in traditional maybe superliners too and hopefully a traditional veiw liner and baggage car
Well Dave, on Demos with Dave, confirmed it, the Genesis missing from the Lionel Store is a glitch. They plan on making them in a variety of paint schemes. BTW the Demo was pretty sweet.
Is Lionel Genesis scale size ?

It's MTH Railking Tooling so no. Dave mentioned it's shorter but that's about it.
Thankyou Marty
