As we all know, Lionel is saying they will be shipping these to their direct dealers and distributors no later than Monday the 18th. We are anxiously awaiting them. In counting up our pre-orders and the "extras" we ordered we have a few 4014s left and one each of 4006 and 4018..... If we  can help you with one - that would be terrific! Our price, with free shipping, is $1989.96.

 

Thanks!

Thanks, PE3! I will put you down for one. 

 

I am am an eastern road guy, but after seeing Mike Reagen's video, I am keeping one! I already ordered freight cars for it, and a cabeese. 

Thanks Steve!

I believe MTH shipped everything but the NKP - they were planning to cancel it and then reconsidered - so it was delayed.... I will call and check on Monday - we have a lot of them coming for all of the NKP fans.....

I think we are all in the same boat. Likely 4 days to the east coast from CA, then they have to be distributed from there, then the retailer gets his to ship. We will see. I've got nearly 100 Monon F3s and passenger cars to ship this week - it will be crazy!

Ouch!  While I understand the desire to have these for Christmas morning, why hurt your local dealer because of a few days of delay?  Obviously it's your choice but so many folks complain about the LHS closing it seems it's worth a few days of delay to have them survive.
 
I too ordered locally here in Pittsburgh and am hoping for a call before Christmas but am fine if it misses by a few days.

Thanks for the sage advice MartyE. That being said, I patronize my local dealer a lot, and all year long. So for me, it's more of a priority to get one for my son on Christmas morning if I can.

Can anyone recommend perhaps a California dealer to contact who is close to the distribution point and might get one a few days earlier to be able to FedEx to me in time? Thanks for any help you can get.

It'll cost more but have you thought about asking your LHS request overnight delivery from their distributer? They'll deliver on Christmas day if you pony up to the price..
