For those of you waiting on the Zephyr

We finally got ours from Digitrax. I know alot of you were waiting patiently for them so thought I would give you a heads up.
Thanks , Mike

 

Were they out of it for while or what?

 

Bah! Just do what I did and get a Super Empire Builder!

 

Moshken, Yes they have not shipped any to me since my order for 6 on Dec.8th.
Thanks , Mike

Brian , how do you like the SEB?

 

Digitrax does seem to have problems shipping decoders as well.


Stay cool and run steam....

 

That is for sure Bob, out of a $1500 order for our shop, $300 worth came in off the bat 2 weeks ago. Another $400 worth came in last week. Still waiting on the rest. We had a customer order 15 various decoders and he has about half of them now. Still waiting patiently.

 

I dunno. When I had a layout I didn't have any decoder-equipped units and now that I have those I'm between layouts.

 

That's just wrong!

In a recent tour of model train-focused hobby shops in the greater Los Angeles area, merchants time and again said basically the following:

"We have dozens of people coming in here wanting to get into N scale. Then they find out that they can't get the locomotives they want. If they're lucky enough to find the locomotives, they can 't get decoders. So they walk out."

There is some sort of fundamental inefficiency in this market. Economists, what's the reason?
