Likewise here. I have never been let down by them. One shipment was three weeks late because of the West Coast backlog in early 2021, but they kept me informed. I especially like that there is no deposit and no money is due until they are ready to ship. They are the only company that I have pre-ordered from. Four times for 13 engines. I just can't fit any more freight cars on the layout.
I had pre ordered an Intermountain ES44AC, 3 years later no engine and ST was coming out with theirs. All my engines will pretty much be Scale Trains. I sold off all Athearn and Intermountain, next will be a few Kato. I have 14 ST engines and 1 on order.They were the 1st model railroad company I pre-ordered from. I met Shane Wilson and the team at Trainfest in Milwaukee when they introduced the 1st line up. I was impressed. So, I pre-ordered the Museum quality Big Blow UP turbines, 1 Rivet Counter and 1 of every kit Classic. The way they did it then and still do, works!
It worked so well that when Rapido was taking pre-orders for a now forgotten car I wanted I did it with them. That was a dreadful experience.
So while I would like to pre-order Genesis models I don‘t. The predictability as to when their product will arrive on shore is pathetic and the pricing is scary to me
Willie, you can never have enough engines, one train with helpers could have 4-5 engines.
