M.T.H. publishes semimonthly Scheduled Arrivals list through March 15, 2026
M.T.H. Electric Trains posted a semimonthly "Scheduled Arrivals Thru March 15, 2026" list on March 3, 2026, naming item numbers from Norfolk Southern Dash-8s to multiple R50B Express Reefers.

M.T.H. Electric Trains posted a semimonthly update titled "Scheduled Arrivals Thru March 15, 2026" on March 3, 2026, and stated, "In an effort to better inform our retailers and distributors of upcoming arrivals from M.T.H., we have begun publishing a semimonthly list featuring the upcoming items scheduled to arrive at M.T.H. within two weeks of the newsletter article publication date. Upon the completion of quality assurance inspections, the items will begin shipping to M.T.H. Authorized Retailers and Distributors."
The supplied March 3 excerpt lists specific item numbers and models that M.T.H. flagged for that two-week window. Among the entries were Item No. 20-21966-1 Norfolk Southern Dash-8 Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 (Hi-Rail Wheels) and Item No. 20-21967-1 Norfolk Southern Dash-8 Diesel Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0 (Hi-Rail Wheels), followed by a series of intermodal offerings including Item No. 20-92432 CSX 4-Car Husky Stack Set, Item No. 20-92433 BNSF 4-Car Husky Stack Set, Item No. 20-92434 Kansas City Southern 4-Car Husky Stack Set, Item No. 20-92435 CP Rail 4-Car Husky Stack Set, Item No. 20-92436 American President Lines 4-Car Husky Stack Set, and Item No. 20-92439 Florida East Coast 4-Car Husky Stack Set.
The March 3 list also included a block of R50B express reefer cars by number and reporting railroad: Item No. 20-94750 Jersey Central R50B Express Reefer Car, Item No. 20-94751 Jersey Central R50B Express Reefer Car, Item No. 20-94752 Southern Pacific R50B Express Reefer Car, Item No. 20-94754 Railway Express Agency R50B Express Reefer Car, Item No. 20-94755 Delaware & Hudson R50B Express Reefer Car, and Item Nos. 20-94761, 20-94762, and 20-94763 listed as Santa Fe R50B Express Reefer Car.
A related Mthtrains excerpt captured additional 30-series items that appeared alongside scheduled arrivals in the supplied material: Item No. 30-1908-1 Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines 4-6-2 Imperial K-4s Pacific Steam Engine w/Proto-Sound 3.0; several bump-n-go trolley releases including Item No. 30-5257 City Lines Bump-n-Go Trolley through Item No. 30-5264 New York & Long Island Traction Co. Bump-n-Go Trolley; passenger sets such as Item No. 30-69376 Santa Fe 4-Car 60' Madison Passenger Set and related coach and combine/diner sets; and operating box cars Item No. 30-71239 Reading Operating Box Car w/Signal Man and Item No. 30-71240 New York Central Operating Box Car w/Signal Man.

M.T.H. also signaled how retailers and the public can follow progress: "As always, you can stay apprised of the latest shipping dates by checking the M.T.H. Shipping Schedule," and "Once items have shipped, use the M.T.H. Product Locator to find a retailer reporting the item in stock." The February 15, 2023 archive example included in the supplied notes reiterated that "M.T.H. Email Subscribers get these announcements in their inbox every morning" and highlighted custom-run practices such as "M.T.H. Electric Trains will be releasing a series of 2023 Premier O Scale 36' Woodside Reefers in four exciting liveries" expected to begin shipping in September 2023.
The supplied excerpts contain truncations and ellipses marking omitted lines; the March 3, 2026 capture includes the explicit items above but shows "[...]" after several entries, indicating the full scheduled-arrivals list is longer than the portion provided. The original user fragment likewise ends mid-sentence: "The list provides item numbers, m" and is preserved as supplied.
For anyone tracking those specific item numbers, the next step remains the M.T.H. Shipping Schedule and the Product Locator; M.T.H.'s March 3 announcement made clear that shipments begin only "upon the completion of quality assurance inspections," so the listed Item Nos. 20-21966-1, 20-21967-1, the 20-92432 through 20-92439 Husky Stack sets, and the 20-94750 through 20-94763 R50B reefers should be expected to move to retailers after QA and listed inventory appears in the Product Locator.
