Can the people at Menards have former K-Line O scale freight cars produced in new paint schemes?

 

There are several former K-Line O scale freight car injection molds that are not being used. Would the people at Bachmann let the people at Menards put the injection molds back into production for new paint schemes?

 

It should be possible to make plastic body freight cars in the Steel injection molds that were used to cast aluminum or zinc alloy freight cars.

 

They are still sitting there in China being unused.

 

What can they do to produce something besides more box cars. There are gondolas, open-hoppers, covered hoppers, and tank car schemes that have never been done in O Scale or have been a limited production run.

Why would Kader Industries of Hong Kong allow Golden Wheel Die Cast of Hong Kong use their tooling so Menards could undercut Bachmann in price for freight cars.

The guys at Bachmann are not using the molds right now.

 

What are they trying to do, run up the collectable price on previous K-Line O Scale ACF Center Flow covered hoppers, Four-bay Open-top Hoppers, flat cars, and gondolas.

 

There are several railroad names and schemes that have yet to produced for the O Scale ACF Center Flow, long 2980 Cu Ft, 2-bay covered hopper.
