anyone have an idea of when this is coming out, the 44 Tonner N scale I mean?

Sometime this Century, I hope. I have already cancelled my pre-ordered ones.

This is almost like a repeat of the Russian Decapod and Ten-Wheeler fiasco....

Dear RL,
They are currently on the water. I'll let you know when they ship from Philly.
Have fun!

Okay, okay -- let's not get crazy here -- you can't tell me that once you see one of those cute little things you won't be snapping them up. Come on, how could you resist? Your heart will melt when you first see these little guys pulling a freight car or two.

They are six months late -- I want to see them, too. But, fortunately they are unlike the Decapod -- at least they are not cancelled.

Slow boat from China?

Maybe they piloted the boat into the Bermuda Triangle where the vengeful giant train spirit lives.

There is a report "on another forum" that they are arriving at shops now. Standing by!

sorry, I didn't get any more, the batteries went down in my camera, and won't be recharged until tomorrow.

Dear All,
They're shipping now. Let us know what you think!
Have fun!

They sure can pull cant they. They'll have no problems going up my 6% incline.

Could you take a photo of the coupling well, so that i can work out a pssible MT conversion. I believe it should be the same as the H16-44, in which case it will be the 2004-1 (I have a spare pair from when i did my H16-44), but could you photograph it anyway please ^_^

I don't have DCC on my layout. I know this engine comes with DCC installed. Does that mean I cannot run it on my DC layout?
