I missed the deadline to pre-order a Rapido GE 44T. I am unfamiliar with the whole pre-order business model but understand manufacturers don't want to get stuck with unpopular inventory. My question is do manufacturers produce only the models ordered or does the production run have a percentage over what was ordered? Thanks.
 




Which Deltic are you buying?

I've had one of the Deltic 55's on order since June of 2023, delivery first quarter of 2024. Current status, shows it as being in production.

Mine was due Q3, but it's also still in production, maybe Q4 more likely Q1 '25 for mine.
