Pre-Order FAQ - Applies to all pre-orders

The price shown is the total price. A deposit of 5% of the total price will be required at the time of pre-order. Add the item to cart to pay 5% down. When multiple pre-orders are placed at the same time, each pre-order will be invoiced as it arrives. Similarly, if pre-orders from different orders, placed at different times, arrive at the same time, they will all be paid for and shipped together.

Only billing address is entered when placing the pre-order, as in-store pickup or shipping method and address are entered only when the items are ready to ship. To ensure safety and security, note that we never store payment information. Payment is entered again by the customer at time of arrival, with any method we offer, which can be different from the method used to place the 5% deposit.

Any 5% deposit will not be refunded if the customer chooses to cancel a pre-order or doesn't make full payment when it arrives. Exceptions can be made if and only if the manufacturer, wholesaler, shipper, or us, cause any extenuating circumstances that lead us to being unable to fulfill the pre-order. These cases are extremely rare and we take great strives to assure that any pre-order placed under our 5% deposit strategy will be fulfilled fully.

Note that the estimated arrival date found near the 'add to cart' button is just that, an estimate given by either the manufacturer, or when the manufacturer does not give a date, estimated by our staff based on prior experience with that manufacturer and their release timeline. We are not responsible for manufacturers delaying releases.

Please note that pre-orders placed before the 'Pre-Order Due Date', found at the top of the description on each pre-order's product page, ensure that we reserve the desired quantities through the manufacturer before they confirm each production batch or 'run' size. Pre-orders placed after the due date are allocated strictly from extra inventory only, and therefore may or may not be available at the desired quantities or road numbers. Pre-order items that no longer have any extra inventory to reserve are shown as 'Out of stock'. To ensure you secure what pre-order items you need, place your pre-orders before their due date. Pre-orders will be accepted after their due date until extra inventory is sold out.

When your pre-orders arrive, you will receive an email requesting payment that will contain all arrived items and deduct the 5% deposit already paid. This email will bring you to checkout, where you can spend or earn points and pay with any payment method we offer. If you believe your pre-order has arrived but did not receive any email, please check your spam folder and contact us. You can always check the status of your current pre-orders by navigating to the 'Preorder Status' page which is found at the bottom of the home page. Once there, enter your email address or phone number and any order number of any pre-orders you have placed. You can also pay for any arrived pre-orders from this page. We ask that any pre-orders that have arrived are paid within 2 weeks of receiving notification of arrival. Thank you.

Product Specific Information:

In 2002, General Electric unveiled a locomotive that would forever change the landscape of North American railroading: the ES44. Part of GE's groundbreaking “Evolution Series,” these locomotives quickly became one of the best-selling diesel lines in history, with nearly 8,000 units built — many of which are still hard at work on the rails today.

This production run brings the ES44 to HO scale like never before. Unlike any GEVO previously offered by BLI, this release features all-new diecast tooling. That's right — these models will be diecast, following the same approach as our popular EMD SD70ACe in HO scale!

Each model is packed with premium detail, including diecast bodies, brass handrails and horn castings, road-specific details, and a diecast chassis for maximum tractive effort. Paragon4-equipped models will even feature smoke, bringing these iconic diesels to life on your layout.

This run also debuts a stunning lineup of all-new paint schemes, with many appearing in HO scale for the very first time. Highlights include:

• Norfolk Southern's “Landmark” units, Chicago and Altoona

• Norfolk Southern's America 250 series, nicknamed “The Stars & Stripes”

• BNSF Railway's three America 250 locomotives, numbered 1776, 2026, and 250

• Canadian National's two America 250 schemes, “Screaming Eagle” and “Air Force One”

• Two Union Pacific road numbers in the iconic “Building America” scheme

In addition to our Paragon4 sound models, these locomotives are also available in our Stealth Series. The Stealth Series delivers the same diecast construction and road-specific detailing as the Paragon4 — DCC-Ready on DC right out of the box, with an 8-ohm speaker pre-installed so you're ready to add sound and unlock the full feature set whenever you like.
