We will need the following information from anyone interested in making a reservation:
Locomotive type (or types) from our list
Road name (or names) from our list
Paint scheme (or schemes) from our “Models” menu
Quantity of each locomotive desired
Era of locomotive desired (for those roads applicable)
Please include desired wheel size (.145 or .114) and gauging (Standard O or Proto48) with your order. Standard O may be ordered with .114 wheels.
RESERVATION TERMS FOR ALL PROJECTS:
Once a reservation has been placed and confirmed by receipt of deposit, a confirmation email will be sent to the person placing the reservation. We do not engage in the practice of printed mailings, as it would take a great deal of time that is instead needed to facilitate forward progress on projects, so unless one is requested, there will be none mailed. Please print your confirmation email if a printed receipt is required.
No reservation is confirmed without receipt of deposit. If we have not received a deposit for a requested model, the model will not be produced.
RESERVATIONS FOR SD45 PROJECT:
As of 12/20/23, new developments may change the status of the closing of reservations and it MAY be possible to add to the list in light of the interruption caused by Covid. Please email for details.
If anyone is still hoping to get one of the models from this project they should contact us immediately to be put on our “standby” list in the event that we MAY be able to add models to the list, or of a cancellation or perhaps any over-run locomotives due to the possibility of extra parts left over during production. MMW can make no guarantees that there will be any available, but it will be handled on a first come – first served basis if there are. Any models that MAY exist after delivery will be priced and sold above the reservation price for anyone without a reservation and deposit.
RESERVATIONS FOR SD40-2 PROJECT:
Pricing:
Standard SD40-2 model prices are currently being restructured for new reservations because of pricing increases due to delays, at least in part, from the Covid fiasco. Any one with a fully current reservation is locked in on their original pricing. Once pricing can be confirmed moving forward, we will resume taking reservations. Anyone interested in placing new reservations should let us know their intentions as soon as possible to facilitate the reservation process after pricing is re-established.
Premium model (SD40 and SD40-2 only) is also under the same price restructuring as the Standard SD40-2 models. (please see above Standard SD40-2 pricing explanation). For more information on these units please see “Premium SD40-2” page under the “Locomotives” tab on the menu bar.
With the arrival of the pilot models, the full first deposit is now required for any new reservation. To place an official reservation for the SD40-2 project, we will require a $950 deposit upon officially reserving along with the information listed at the top of this page. For those who have already sent in their initial deposit, you will be receiving an email request for the remainder of the first deposit to bring your reservation(s) current. No reservation will be confirmed without the requisite deposit. The second deposit will be due around the time of the appearance of the painted production samples.
At this time, we only need the road name(s) and locomotive type(s) of choice.
