I can’t keep track of threads in the forums - what and where I’ve read about production order. I’ve seen Scott say EAE1, Krauss Maffei, SD40-2 to be done this year. I think I saw Jonathan say he’s started “detailing” roads for for SD40-2. With F3s in production, does this mean the SD40-2s will be after the F3s ? I haven’t caught any indications prep work has begun for the E’s or KM. I’m just wondering so to begin planning My budget.

As soon as Scott gets about the minimum required reservations he asks Jonathan to put together a matrix of variations. Several of us help him in that effort. Once the preliminary matrix is agreed to here Scott sends it to the builder for input. Once the matrix is agreed to by everybody the variations that will be produced are fixed and reservations close. There is some magic in that process as some variations on the bubble may end up on the go list and others not on the go list because of complexity i.e., read cost to build. As for the build order that kinda depends on the reservations. This last push for reservations has put the SDs earlier on the production list. Es and KMs are a little further behind.
