The manufacturer has pushed the delivery date back to November (but theydont say which year).  Just in time for Fathers Day!

It would be nice if they hurried up a little, as I outlived my life expectancy 5 years ago.

I musta missed this somewhere, but who's making them?

Intermountain.

It'll be nice to have some scale width body versions of these units. My partner and I built and painted 40 of these back in the early 90's from Athearn U-Boats. They sold like hotcakes, I didn't even get to keep a set, but I still have a few of the MEC decal sets left, (I had intended to chop up the then new Atlas U-23b, but never got around to it).

  Intermountain has been saying that for the last 2 years. I had one on order but I cancled it when they moved the delivery date again.

I'm looking forward to the Seaboard Coast Line versions.  My first cab ride was on a U18 in Tampa Yard in 1977, so these units will always be special to me.
