Midwestern Model Works Latest?

[E7]

I haven't been on the Net much, just wondering if MMW has managed to pull anything out of the hat yet?

Not a peep. At least you are still posting - where is Butch? Cole is lurking as I type- maybe he has heard something?

I be here. Not much going on in my modeling world, so not much to say.

I saw some photos of the March Meet and MMW was there with some unpainted cars. Supposedly the SD-40's are coming in soon. Hard to believe the customers put up with this BS. Covid is over, but MMW and Kohs still use this excuse for delays. Funny, Scott has/had no problem bringing in his models, even during Covid.

It will be interesting to see how things pan out in the post covid world, although new toys is hardly a major issue. Right now I'm saving up to buy gasoline!

I saw the MMW table at the March Meet but didn’t have any interest in models displayed. No reason to stop. Seems it was the same old story as I couldn’t help but hear as I passed.

Be willing to bet there will be no models delivered by the ‘25 March Meet, hope I’m wrong for the folks who have deposits awaiting product.

Based on MMWs recent General news posts the Coalporters could be delivered by the end of the year, it appears he has about 90 cars unreserved at this time. These were 600 reserved but will be 15% higher once he has them. The CenterBeam flat car is being reserved at 700 and the same 15% higher deal when he has them +215 for a lumber load, he has posted some pics of these. If you wait until he actually has them in stock you are looking close to 1K a car with shipping. As for the SD 45 project nothing definitive. JMO

I don't believe he has delivered anything unless I missed it. Yet he still makes announcements of new cars and takes reservations. He took reservations on the locos long before any freight cars were announced and they still have been delivered. If his business fails it's his own fault. Obviously Koh's is in the same boat.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
