I recall at one point (around when the "new" Knapford Station got canceled) that IF they were able to determine the costs of making the product was feasible or not, especially down to being able to reuse components like the chassis from Gordon/Spencer for example, they'd promise to announce AFTER everything was finalized and set in stone. To hear them be uncertain about the future of a character we've been looking forward to seeing feels like a betrayal IF it ends up being a Duncan 2.0 situation.

Idk, we'll see how it goes.... If anything, if this announcement is great news that he isn't cancelled and during December, well then it'll be a Christmas miracle lol

It sounds like Flying Scotsman may be delayed. Not cancelled.

But there's still a chance it's good news. He can't be cancelled when he's already that far into production, given his face sample. We're forced to wait until after Halloween before Matt finally spills the beans. He wanted to avoid rumors and speculation, but did the exact opposite. That ended up making some of us fear that Flying Scotsman was cancelled. It would be a big betrayal if it's true.

Signs are pointing that he isn't cancelled, since Duncan was delisted from Trainworld before the unfortunate announcement was made, while Flying Scotsman is still up.
