For those of you who preordered the really attractive A5 Halloween/Christmas steamers a few years ago, METCA announces an equally attractive pair of boxcars (one for each holiday) to start your consist as IMO none of the MTH/Lionel holiday rolling stock do these engines justice.
The fact that METCA has the confidence to make this announcement lends credence to the actual delivery of these little gem engines shortly.

... The fact that METCA has the confidence to make this announcement lends credence to the actual delivery of these little gem engines shortly. Let's put it this way... I heard from a reliable source at Allentown ATMA that a last-minute "enhancement" request for the Halloween model couldn't be accommodated, because production is too far along now. So in an odd sort of way, that's an encouraging indicator that we'll be seeing the A5 locomotives sooner rather than later.
BTW, the samples of the boxcars I saw at the Allentown ATMA show this past weekend looked FABULOUS! Sorry I didn't grab a photo. Duh!!!!
