About this listen

 In this episode of the Smokin Okie Model Aviation Old and Nee podcast, host Eric immerses the audience into the inner workings of Wen-Mac, one of the premier model production facilities. Exploring the company's automated conveyor belt assemblies, Eric highlights Wen-Mac's impressive production rates and discusses the seasonal nature of the business. Notable items such as the marine oil tankers and fire engines produced for Texaco are mentioned. The podcast also gives an insight into the company's design and engineering process, all carried out in-house. Eric also introduces the listeners to the leaders of the company, the McRoskey brothers, who developed an interest for model building from a young age. The episode ends on a particularly intriguing note with the mention of the company’s intense competition-induced secrecy around future product development.
