New Christmas Boxcar arrival date?

[dmolavi]

What's the ETA for the Christmas boxcar this year? http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=3461

This is strange, because the picture is not of an On30 model. The trucks and couplers seem to be an O tinplate or even an "S" sized car (as in American Flyer). And notice that the body has a door that opens towards the right, where the Spectrum On30 boxcar doors open towards the left.

Thanks I'm hoping to be able to pick it up at York next week...

Just an FYI, I spoke to a Bachmann rep at York and they said that the production samples had just arrived, so it would be a couple of weeks.  Will it be released in time to be running under my tree?

Dear All,
They have arrived.
Tell your dealer!
Have fun!
