I just looked at the website and it only says "September" for the Hudson. The second run of the Centipede is scheduled for Sept. 30th.
Like I said before, it could be they got more orders than expected and couldn't fill them all in time, or there was a problem that needed to be fixed. Would you rather have them send what they've got and fill some orders, while other people still have to wait, or do you want to get something that may have an unresolved problem? I'd rather be patient.

Anyone betting they are going to make this one? Why do they even bother with a delivery date? They aren't going to make this one just like they haven't made the dozen delivery dates they have announced in the past. Every time they announce a new delivery date and fail to deliver, they make themselves look even more foolish. What a joke.
I have one on pre-order through my LHS. Maybe they got more orders than they could handle in time for release? Or maybe a problem came up and they wanted to fix it before delivery? All we can do is be patient.
I've seen plenty of posts of how BLI keeps delaying products. Believe it or not, it hasn't helped them to get it out any quicker.
As has been the case for quite a while, summer is a time when I take a hiatus from the hobby. Every year I have intentions of at least doing a little model railroading during the summer, but I never seem to find the time and this year was no exception. Before beginning this year's hiatus which began sometime in April, I had read that BLI was absolutely, positively going to finally release their long promised Dreyfus Hudson in July. As summer winds down, I am beginning to dabble a little bit with model railroading and one of the things I am curious about is whether BLI actually made their latest target date for release of his Hudson. I checked Factory Direct Trains and they are still offering this as a preorder. This leads me to believe that once again, BLI had failed to deliver on its promise. I quit gettting mad about this sometime ago. Now it is just comical and gets even funnier as one promised release date after another comes and goes. I'm just trying to confirm whether or not BLI finally met their target date for a release, or does their Dreyfus Hudson continue to be nothing more than an empty promise from a company that can't seem to get their act together.
