To further expand on @Lemosteam 's post.  Top Hobby Trains has announced on their Facebook page that the M1's are supposed to be "in shop next week".  I haven't heard from anyone else as of yet though and Broadway Limited's Facebook page says nothing yet.  Hopefully they can't be far off though.  I just hope they're good models and sell well.

Got of the phone with BLW (confirming my pre-order and updating the payment info) and they were expecting them "soon."

Just got off the phone with a shop on the east coast and their BLI rep had the same story yesterday re: arrival of the n-scale PRR M1a/M1b - stuck in California, due end of March. Mr. wallet can breathe relief for a week or two.

They are, but the listings say "THIS IS A PRE-ORDER SALE!!! BROADWAY LIMITED IMPLORTS [sic] EXPECTS TO HAVE THESE SHIPPED TO DEALERS IN LATE MARCH, 2016."

I think it's going to be early April.  Several hobby shops have gotten dealer emails from BLI stating the M1's were due on the West Coast on the 25th.  One report mentioned Canada and customs so maybe the container unloaded at Vancouver instead of LA or Long Beach.  If so, hopefully that won't delay things too long.  I asked on BLI's Facebook page but have not gotten a reply.  They did announce that their HO Milwaukee S-3 was in the stores so they may have been focusing on that.

One ebay retailor had a shipping date of late April/early May....for what that's worth.  :|
