I made the foolish mistake of buying an HO scale Intermountain ES44AC in the Citirail livery from a online retail store called "Intrernet Hobbies," and I am guessing that many of you know what I am talking about. I later learned after this that up for preorder was Intermountains upcoming new run of ES44ACs. I udnerstand that due to economic sancition issues, Intermountains new run of the ES44s might come come until next year, the year after or after that.They are confirmed for production, which is a good sign.Intermountains website is a tid tad connfusing to navagate thru and I cant find a good ETA date list, so I have to as what are your own ideas of when they might come out?
You might try emailing IM directly. Seems better than getting a bunch of speculative answers from folks you don't work at IM. Just sayin'...

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.

I wouldn't put much faith of any kind in Intermountain right now. As a dealer, I've been attempting to contact someone there regarding orders. Every time I reach out, I'm told somebody will get back to me on Monday. That same story line has been handed to me every month for the last eight months !!!
I've pretty much given up on stocking anything Intermountain at this point.

That's too bad Mark. I have always had excellent customer service from InterMountain in the past, but I haven't contacted them recently.
They produce good models. I hope that they can return to being a great supplier.

oh boy this not a good sign. First we have MTH recently closing business. Now Intermountain, what is this economic sanctions your talking about. Are they financially in trouble right now? Is this the reason they are not fullfilling orders.

That was walked back a long time ago - all the articles are over a year old. Naturally there are no newer articles reporting what really happened - for reasons not to be discussed here.
Rapido has come out with plenty of new items. Atlas has shipped new items. BLI has shipped new items.
Remember these are mostly small companies - and people are not going to offices to work right now in many places, either by choice or by requirements. Response is expected to be slow.

Does anyone remember when Intermountain released ES44’s in the “Famous Image Collector Series?”

Hundreds of items, and only one product is marked as "in production", and even it has no ETA listed. ....

That whole China factory shut down fiasco caught them with their pants down and they are still trying to regain their composure.
