New order deadline is November 25th, production starts December with delivery in the spring. https://www.rapidotrains.com/ho-gmd-f7b-f9b Also, for those who may need to put aside some money, arriving soon is "Surprise Canadian HO Locomotives" - these typically are short re-runs of items sold until stocks run out. The Canadian RDC models have been delayed due to factory capacity issues, a new order deadline will be announced closer to production in 2020. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
