Ordered one last night when I saw them.

Philip, did you order any? I got the immediate order confirmation e-mail, but nothing since. I'd usually get a shipping notice by now.
 Just wondering. I know Pete poted he was closed last Wed.

I'm just stunned at the price for an undec switcher without sound.

[Joetrain59]

Yes, I know. It's either this one, or ConCor's though, if you can get the latter. And still, they both lack rear headlights.

Not likely to happen... Concor has never made one.

I think someone is confusing it with the MP-15, perhaps.

[Philip H]

nope - ConCor marketed an "SW1500" for years.  It wasn't necessarily prototype, but it stood in for a couple of generations:

I get that, but it wasn't and certainly cannot be confused for an SW1500.  ConCor did produce an MP15.

[Joetrain59]

Oh yes, my bad. ConCor did an MP15 a few years ago. Brain fart.

So why are they not manufacturing the SW1500 anymore? Hard to pull the trigger at that price, but I do want a GN unit

Why Con-Cor does or doesn't produce anything?  You have to ask Jim Conway.

Or if you are talking about the MTL model, the last we heard was because of the difficulty obtaining the Chinese-made mechanism.

It may be just my bad eyesight, bit it sure looks to me like the two pictures on the BLW website of the undecs have the same trucks, but the text says they have different ones!
