Looking at Walthers website for over a year now, this has an expected date and then it becomes unknown. This has happened several times. I also talked to a Bachmann representative at a train show and got the distinct impression these weren't being made as Bachmann is trying to sell more RTR cars. I enjoy scratchbuilding my own cars and while I do also buy RTR cars, I am getting extremely frustrated with the run-around that seems to be happening.
While they do show up as available on the Bachmann store, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't also be available through Walthers and the several hobby shops that I have backorders for these trucks.
Would anyone at Bachmann care to comment on when these will be available to distributors such as Walthers?
