I have seen both of these for pre-order for $75.

I assume that is cost from the USA, Brian? May be considerably more by the time it arrives at your house with import costs? $75 sounds roughly like around £60-ish and all the ones I can see for that price are the HO version, the cheapest N one seems to be around £82 which would tally with the $125 rrp (less a discount of sorts).

Tootally Trains who post on NGRM seem to have quite a good reputation as importers of US Bachmann, many people have got their TTE 009 stuff from them, so far they haven't listed it as available or for pre-order, though it seems to be due out very soon according to their last post.

A quick and rather good update on the Percy loco is that the body including the cast weight does come off!
The tank and smokebox is seperate to the cab and foot plate. 
This looks like is going to be a very usefull chassis for 009!!

There are some photos today on the 009 railway Modellers facebook group. I will post a link below but you need to become a member of facebook and this group to see them:
