I would really like this switcher for my layout but I cannot seem to find them anywhere. On one hand, the stores say that they are out of stock which leads me to believe that the product has not been released yet. On the other, while reading the review for the switcher, I read in the user comments that people already have it and are loving it. Can somebody help me out please?
The models were distributed some months ago. Your search indicates they are all sold out. Perhaps you might get one on the re-sale market such as eBay, or maybe Bachmann will have another run of them produced. Good luck.

I did a quick search on eBay and found three listed for sale for about $110 each.
They have been out for some time now. I bought one in August in Australia. My LHS in Brisbane Australia has a black on for AU$83 at the moment. Also if you have no luck with US ebayers, I have been very happy with the service from bonzy69 here in Australia and he still has a couple listed, but the extra postage will make it a bit pricey.
cheers and good luck, they are nice little switchers.
i got mine from micro-mark few months ago
I just checked Micro Mark. They have them. $69.95. You must understand, this stuff comes from China in batch form. Think container ship. They sell out in about a year or two. Sometimes sooner. Quite a few months ago, Caboose Hobbies had a a lot in stock. Now on order.
There have been a couple postings here about online shops. Sounds like you need to update your list.
You can also do a search for Bachmann 45 ton and you will get many hits with possible online shops that have it in stock.
Some ebay people jump on something like this and up the price.

Jammin-Madrid,
I assume that you are in Spain, so ordering within the EU would be an option.
Check this source
The price quoted seems to be fair, delivery in December.
RD Hobby is a reliable source - I have done quite a lot of business with them.
I just checked Peach Creek Shops and they show each version. I would call first to be sure.
