<p>PCM/BLI has slipped badly in thier announced dates, delivery dates and swung wildly back and forth between TBD, Nov 07, JAN 08, June 08, NOV 08 for the Long Tender model.</p><p>Accuracy is something that relies on something called "Suspension of Disbelief." In the nice land of trains and all things wonderful we are supposed to contently wait months, years if at all.</p><p>They will have you believe that pre-orders is the future. Well, they wore it out long ago. For me, I acted to buy products availible NOW and suitable for the service. For example the PCM P7 President was another long-waited for engine. I canceled that one and bought Proto E7 A units by a pair to do the same service.</p><p>Now any kind of dates generate a urge to setup a large towel to wipe the tears of laughter away. If I had a load that arrived that late, I cannot expect to keep my job with the company that scheduled it.</p><p>I dont mind a little wait. It took Walthers 3 years total to issue what I consider to be a complete train in heavyweights. But just not two years and no information or hard data.</p><p>Yes thier Forums appear to be undergoing some quick postings. Maybe they finally unfroze that rusted wheel and got moving again. Who knows?</p>
