Moxie Convention Cars Delayed

January 13, 2019
The factory in China failed to complete our final 300 Moxie 2018 convention cars prior to the end of December, as they had promised.  They now say they will have them completed before Chinese New Year (Feb 5-19).  We will post another update as soon as we know more, but we are still confident that they will eventually arrive. Without them, the 2018 convention will close with a deficit, so we really depend on these final sales.

December 15, 2018
The latest word is that our remaining 300 MOXIE cars should be ready to leave China by the end of the month.  Watch for further updates in early January.

November 21, 2018----Our importer (Des Plaines Hobbies) recently met personally with the Chinese engineer in charge of production, who promised delivery “next month” (i.e, December). We don’t put a lot of faith in Chinese promises, but that’s where things stand as of this date. IF you are tired of waiting, we will honor all requests for full refunds, but we hope you will stick with us a little longer.

  September 28, 2018----We are still awaiting delivery of the last 300 MOXIE convention tank cars. Just after the convention closed, we received the first 200, and soon afterward began packaging and mailing them out. All 200 have now been mailed.  Orders were filled in the sequence in which they were originally received.
 

Our understanding is that the remaining 300 cars have been produced, but are awaiting their wheelsets, because the factory that makes (only) the wheelsets locked the doors and closed unexpectedly in August. The wheelsets, if in fact they had already been made, need to be obtained from the closed factory, moved to the factory where the cars await, and assembled. Then they can be packaged and shipped to the states.

When will we receive them……..we don’t yet know.

Meanwhile, there are still about 60 pair of cars available, so don’t hesitate to order.  Download and print the order form below.
