AND NOW THAT AGE OLD QUESTION:

[E7]

Anyone ever get any product from Midwestern Model Works?

Ask this on OGR to get some reaction. They have sycophants there. But hurry; management will squash your thread.

I am intrigued by some eBay offerings - apparently Sunset locomotives, separated from their tenders, and offered at low initial bids. In one case, two tenders are offered in the same frame, meaning if you bid on the corresponding locomotives you may or may not get the tenders. I think this time it is a case of the seller not knowing anything about steam models.

Bob, I think they (the OGR management) pretty much stomp on any new MMW threads as you mentioned. I did a search and couldn't come up with anything. I did find the MMW website......don't see where anything has been delivered

FWIW, the December 20, 2023 update on the MMW website has pictures of a rack holding 103 assembled (but unpainted) centerbeam cars. That update also said "Discussions to restart the production of the SD45 project are underway and there will be more news on that soon."

Wow, I knew MMW followed KOH's business model of taking large deposits up front and large progress payments as well (essentially the customer pays for the build), but now he's pulling the same BS of not delivering. There are a lot of people who have money tied up with both of them.
