2-6-6-2 delivery

[glennk28]

I keep hearing of people who have received their 2-6-6-2s--I checked with my dealer today--he tells me that Bachmann is shut down for inventory for almost the entire month of January--right when a major model is supposedly in the delivery process.

What is the situation here?  Are the Mallets sitting in the warehouse? or are we waiting for another container-load to arrive?  Are they coming in by road name? (I have ordered Oregon Lumber Co.)  What's happening??   

Thanks---GJ

Dear Glenn,
We are always closed during January for inventory. Shipments should resume soon.
Have fun!

Thanks--it did seem sort of odd --I wasn't sure if the dealer was trying to cover possibly not having the stock thru other reasons--I would think, though, that they'd want to get as much out before having to count it--

Oh, well--L just got a message that my MMI K-37 is on the way--that should keep me occupied for a while--

Thanks for the replay--
