Midwestern Model Works Redux

One needs to ask what his definition of "in production" means.

Here is my take - if you are "in production," you have some sort of assembly line going, and a dedicated team doing the assembly. The longer it takes, the more you have to pay for the workers, floor space, etc.

So, again my opinion - if it takes six months from last week for the first production unit to roll off the assembly line, you can expect a huge increase in final cost just because you have to pay the guy assembling the unit. That gets reduced, of course, if subsequent production units roll out on, say, a weekly basis.

So, I say, let's take a look in December 2023, and see if these things are being delivered.

Past performance is not encouraging. But we will all stand up and cheer if he succeeds!

Not sure about standing up and cheering Bob. But, he will have accomplished something he sorely needs to do. His credibility rides on a razors edge.

How 'bout those 21 Heritage units!

I'd rather see some photos of things that actually exist. Carey has some new videos of 1930s models - hope he can find his way here.

The real ones (Heritage Units) exist. At the current rate of MMW production, I wouldn't count on the models. There is nothing out there of 100 year old vintage of interest to me. 40's and 50's, yes!
