Is there a shipping schedule for Lionel's 2019 catalog? I am curious of when the LC Plus 2.0 0-6-0T Docksiders are supposed to be available. I checked Lionel's website, but there was nothing on the shipping schedule page.

JD,
I have one of the 0-6-0Ts on order from the last catalog. I just looked at Charles Ro's site the other day and he is showing a July 2020 delivery. These dates are always up in the air but Ro is usually pretty close to the mark on arrival dates.
Thanks, JOHNSTRAINS. Patience is a virtue...and it will be rewarded.
This engine was delayed a bit due to new tooling and new tech. We're making new tooling for the electrocouplers and the smoke unit as well as the PCB design. I would say as of now though, a July 2020 time-frame is reasonable. Sorry I can't provide a more precise time than that.

Thank you, Dave. I appreciate you taking the time to chime in and share some of the realities that are being navigated.
You and everyone at Lionel produced a great catalog again this year. The variety of products designed and offered in the catalog is amazing. Keep up the great work!
I think most folks are going to think it will be worth waiting for, especially with the notable improvements Dave mentions. This engine promises to be an absolute winner.
Dave, What is the schedule for 3-18100 EJ&E Boxcars please. Thanks, Joe
Still looking for the 0-6-0T locomotive, wasn't it supposed to be in this month? Any sightings yet?
OOPS, I just looked at the latest shipping schedule, now it's November! I wonder if that's a "firm" commitment? 
Yeah, it's tough to find on the schedule. As John mentioned, the latest has them arriving in November.
I've got quite a few preorders in the pipeline and as often seems to happen, the last couple of months of the year are loaded with many on my list.
I'm also waiting to see the LCP 2.0 0-6-0T locomotives. I'm considering getting the Pennsy 0-6-0T and the LCP 2.0 PE Berk Jr. I figured I'd wait to see the reviews on them though before I pull the trigger. So far, there are a couple videos on YouTube showing the LCP 2.0 Berk Jrs. They seem pretty nice. I'm curious about how the sound quality (especially of the chuff and the whistle) will compare to the older TMCC Berk Jrs that I run. I'm also curious about the sounds of the LCP 2.0 0-6-0T's considering there is no tender which means less space to cram in all of the electronics and speakers. Fingers crossed though.
Lionel always had it listed as 11/10/20 after the July deadline fizzled.
Charles Ro had it as 10/10/20
Awaiting one of these as well - will be first LionChief 2.0 item. The Granite Run Quarry with the 6 mini cars seemed like a fair deal.
