Rico, I have never done a Pre-Order of a model railroad Item; or, any other type of item for that matter. So, I don't know how that works. To Pre-Order does the manufacturer expect money down?
99% of the time, no.
In some special cases a distributor or retailer might ask for a percentage deposit (not full amount), but in most cases you should not be asked for that. (And that's the retailer, not the manufacturer taking that deposit.)
