Still waiting on my email notification from Ro, hopefully he has UPS rolling up to his warehouse this morning!
If he wasn't 4 hours away from me, i 'd almost consider a road trip!

In most cases, the only notification on shipping I get from Charles Ro is an after the fact that your package was just delivered. I would not worry about the UPS shipping notice at this point.

At 4 hours away, I would go get it myself. But since I'm in AZ, and the dealer I bought it from is in NY, I have to wait for UPS, which means mine isn't here until the 30th.
I'm in the Dallas area, mine will be here on the 29th I hope

Just got off the phone with Charles Ro ( 11AM). The guy I talked to, not Ro, advised a truck just pulled up. He put me on hold and confirmed that the Big Boys just arrived but couldnt confirm if they would be shipped out today.

Being I'm in AZ, and Nassau is in NY, it'll be post Christmas for me too. I'd be happy if it's still the weekend so that I have some time to play with it before I have to go back to work for a week. Maybe I'll just have to call in sick...
Yep, sounds like another case "Big Boy Flu". There an epidemic that is sweeping the country from coast-to-coast. Best advice is stay home for 4-5 days after you get your delivery. Lube your unit as per instructions. Run frequently, not you, just your trains. Drink plenty of liquids and re-fill the smoke unit often. Sleep is optional. You can then return to normal activities.
Great news, Matt. Congratulations on this wonderful purchase.
Congrats Matt, while I am remaining optimistic, I still did not receive a tracking number as of yet.
Anybody besides Matt get notified by Charles Ro tonight.
-Pete
I also got my CR tracking number, frustratingly it's only for the label creation. No estimated delivery date yet. Pins and needles, pins and needles!
I got mine to unforantly they shipped ups means Monday now .. Got to love it 3 days to get And Charles ro is only 10 hours from me..
My Big Boy just arrived from the Charlie Nassau Hobby Center! Merry Christmas everybody!

My tracking shows it picked up so its on its way .. It and my es44 ac
My CR BigBoy UPS tracking number shows delivery for tomorrow (12/24). I can't believe it, overnight! I guess it occasionally pays to live in NYC.
David, with my recent change in employment i dont have the $1500 right now
"I can't believe it, overnight!"
Santa was watching, Chris. You must have been a good boy this year.
Merry Christmas to you and the family, Chris, It was nice to see you at York in October.
My Big Boy is sitting behind me, pictures a bit later.

Merry Christmas

I am very happy for you, Matt. Merry Christmas.
Sigh, Tuesday is so far away...
Got mine today as well I will try to put up a video later
I am very happy for you, Matt. Merry Christmas.
Well, I did a very brief track test, but I'm not done yet. So far, so good, and I love the sight and sounds! The level of detail is excellent, and the sounds and smoke are to kill for! This certainly is a home run for Lionel.
I am excited for all of you guys that are getting this fantastic locomotive...

UPS just stopped by and dropped off my BB. I'm going to try and resist opening it up until I get to the club on Friday. Video to follow.
Less than 24 hours from label creation to delivery! I guess UPS is making good on their promise to not melt down like last year.
For Trainstock, maybe a few of us can get together and double-head these. I see we got the coupler to make that happen.
Charles ro shipped mine today 12-24-2014 preliminary email states;
Scheduled Delivery Date: Monday, 01/05/2015
Estimated Delivery Time: 09:30 AM - 01:30 PM
just glad it is on it's way!

I think we have a total of six that were ordered by NJHR members. Bring yours and we can do a seven-header. Should have no problem getting up the helix grade!
Maybe the grade isn't the major problem, we'll have to figure a way to get about 30 amps to the tracks!

Good point! I wonder if anyone can report what the BB draws?
Just got my Christmas present from Charlie Ro......while its not the actual Big Boy......its almost as good, one UPS Tracking Number!
Getting worried for awhile seeing everyone else getting tracking numbers and Big Boys....
thought Santa put me on the Bad Boy list instead of the Big Boy list!
Merry Christmas everyone-Pete
UPS just dropped mine off, put it right under the tree.

No load, level track, all smoke on, anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5A on my meter. More than any other engine I've tested!
