Won't spend money on anything that's too "MTHy", i.e., purple to celebrate MTH. Purple might be OK in moderation, but not for an entire set.
When considering what to produce, take some cues from the stuff that people pay Jim Waterman to make, such as McKeen cars, big engines, GG1s, modern passenger cars, F3s, etc. In other words, NEW and different tinplate.
Does MW ever read these threads?
I would love to see that as well. What are the odds of Mike spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop new tooling that will be years before they pay for themselves? Mike loves tinplate but he is trying to retire. We need to think in the box with what can to produced with current tooling. We don't have to like it, but it is reality.
