I notice that on Bachmann Europe website, the estimated delivery is now shown as Jan/Feb!
This update was dated 01/01/2014
When first announced it was shown as October 2013
Same delayed as the Heisler.....
Lets hope not !!!!.....the Heisler was VERY late, due I beleive to having to be shipped back to the factory for some sort of revision!!
Conversley the 2-4-4-2 Mallet which followed the Heisler was delivered quite quickly after the initial announcment!
Now, june/july on the UK Bachmann site!!!!!!!!
Dear All,
I believe we'll see them by April over here.
Anticipate!

Still anticipating!
Lets hope the realisation is as good as to anticipation!!
I have just bought 2 more locos from my retail supplier here in the UK, Tower Models in a very wind swept Blackpool ( The Tower is still standing despite 100+ MPH winds!)
July (cf. Micro Mark).
Not to steal the thread, but on a related note...
Is there any estimate on the arrival of the new On30 freight cars from the 2014 catalog, specifically the full size box cars (27097 & 27098) and passenger cars (26201 & 26202)?
Thanks!
Scott
What are the full size box cars?...Is this something new?

"Full size" as in not the little 18 footers. They are listed in the 2014 catalog. (Download it here (http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67&products_id=5931).) Very bottom of page S38. These "big ones" used to be a dime a dozen (who remembers 3 for $39 at St Aubin's?), but have been impossible to find for many years now.
There are a few other products labeled as "new" including passenger cars that are "convertible" to obs cars. New tank cars and wood dump cars (different color) are also in there.
Didn't mean to steal, but it's quite related to the original question. Perhaps they are all in the same shipping crate?

November for Caboose Hobbies...
WHITCOMB:--
Micro Mark JUNE
Bachmann Europe website JULY/AUGUST
We still do not have a definitive delivery date for the Whitcombs, but the good news is that the Convertible Coach/Observation Cars (26201 and 26202) just arrived at the warehouse! They should be available at your favorite dealer's shortly. The Data Only Box Cars (27097and 27908) and will be here in early summer.
Soon available?
Well we are into AUGUST now and still no concrete information on the Whitcomb diesel!
Is it subject to the production delys which seem to delay many Model Railway items these days, or has it proved not be be of sufficient interest to potential buyers to warrant investment in its production.
Some of us still wait in anticipation
Dear Steve,
I'm told they will finally ship from HK next week. This puts them here in mid-September; the UK should get them a little sooner.
I'll confirm when I get shipping info.
I'm still anticipating as well!
Thanks!

Hello Mr Bachmann,
Many thanks for your quick reply, that is good news, we look forward to receiving them
I can now cancel my plans to build one from a Kit!
On Bachmann UK, available in september/october...
Dave & Roger at Tower Models still have no concrete info from Bachmann Europe/UK
Dear All,
I got confirmation today that they are on the water, which should put them in the UK late this month and here in the US in October.
Thanks for your patience!
the Bach-man
Thanks Mr Bach-Mann
BACHMANN UK Website product availability list shows the Whitcomb Diesel as being 'IN STOCK' having changed from Sept/Oct delivery yesterday!
Dear All,
Some of the Whitcombs have arrived in Philadelphia. As soon as the rest clear customs, hopefully next week, we'll begin shipping.
Call your dealer to reserve yours!
Thanks!
