Does anyone on here know why Lionel pushed back delivery of this engine until October of 2007? (according to Lionel's updated shipping schedule)  It was featured in the 2006 Vol 2 Catalog with a March 2007 delivery.  We basically have to wait 1 year to get one if the Oct. 2007 date is correct. Did anyone else order one?

Thanks

Since it was originally a K-Line model they might be working on some modifications and improvements to bring it up to Legacy and TMCC II standards.

Like everything else either LIONEL or MTH makes, it never comes out when first is stated.  Example is the Lionel new TMCCII or Legacy system and new TMCCII Big boy both were due out for Christmas then pushed back till Feb now won't be out till April?  Go figure?  Same thing with MTH.
