I got letter and a hat from the Lionel RailRoader Club. The letter said that the 2012 Christmas Boxcar will not be delivered for at least two more months. This car was to be "Made in America." When I ordered it, September 18th, it was supposed to be delivered in October. When it wasn't here in the middle of November, I contacted the club and was told it would be delivered in early December. Last week I sent another message and have yet to receive a response. However, the box that came today answers some questions. The letter stated that there were issues with the current U.S. manufacturer, and that production was being moved to an overseas manufacturer. The letter stated that Lionel was still committed to having products "Made in America." Ironically, the token of appreciation, their "newest baseball cap", was also made in China.
