True, but I've seen other companies, in various fields, list items as "available" when they weren't.  When someone posts pictures of theirs I'll believe it.  And start worrying...

I saw them listed on Brooklyn Locomotive Works' site. Geez, $128 for a DC loco.  :facepalm:

Too rich for my blood.


Hmm... since Kiz stopped
shaving and grew a beard,
I haven't seen any of his
blood...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Well, if BLW has them in stock, I should be hearing something from Chuck.  Thank you!

Thank you.  So it's still open whether they actually appear...

I just received an email from Chuck at Feather River Trains.  The important part, for this topic, is:

"The U25C’s will be on the way here today.  "

So apparently they are being shipped by Arnold, although, >in my opinion<, with the holidays they may not reach customers before the new year.

They're in at Kleins' if anyone is wondering (just added in the last hour it seems). Not affiliated, just a customer.

Indeed.  Looks like a short initial shipment though...only 3 of each.  I'm going to wait until I see a nice picture of one.

Going fast it seems too. Several roads already out of stock for now.

This is happened numerous times with me at Kleins.  The last Athearn Burlington covered hoppers only seemed to appear as Out of Stock each time I checked on them, and now he NP U25Cs.  Darn it...

Whoa.  At $127.99 street price at MBK for DCC Ready, I'm surprised that they're going that fast.  I hope they're worth it.

I was just at @SkipGear's HobbyTown today and he had a Burlington Northern and a Conrail in stock. $169.95 list, $159.95 discounted.  I didn't note which numbers.
