Better to have a "fake" caboose than a fake bridge!

So sad to here this news.  I guess my trains will continue to run      with "fake"  N&W cabooses.

I really hope that the N&W caboose don't take        as long as the B&O caboose's. I ordered my I5's in June of        2014 and we're hoping to have them this year. They have done        such accurate and beautiful work that I can't wait to see both        the B&O and N&W models.

Gentlemen:
          I got an update from Bill Carl of Spingmill Depot on the          disposition of 
          the N&W preordered Caboose.
          
          Apparently things are screwed up in China at the moment.           But,it has 
          nothing to do with the trade war but rather the new          environmental 
          regulations the Chinese government is implementing on -ALL-          factories.  
          Bill stated that Intermountain has stopped putting dates on          their 
          projects and instead are using status eg Taking Orders, In          Production, 
          Shipping, etc.  He also stated that Rapido has posted some          videos on 
          YouTube explaining the difficulties they are experiencing as          well.
          
          Also, capitalism is working in China as their factory had a          lot of 
          workers who did not return after the Chinese New Year because          they took 
          higher paying jobs at other factories.  So the  plant manager          is working 
          through several issues and they are trying to assist him where          they can. 
            Bill said that he is working toward sending a mass email          soon 
          explaining some of the finer details.
          
          He has no dates at the moment but believes the cars will          arrive in the 
          following order:
          B&O I-5 cabooses (Alton, GM&O)
          B&O I-1/2/3 cabooses (Alton, GM&O, SIRT, BC&G,          B&OCT, etc)
          DODX flat cars
          N&W cabooses
