All Nation (Bill Pope) bought the Walthers passenger car line along with John Keil (Keil-LIne). I don't know how the partnership worked but Bill Pope fabricated the sheet metal parts and stampings and assembled the kits. Keil-line apparently got the molds and did the castings. These are now part of the expanded Scale City Designs. AN and Keil apparently worked together to get the parts for kits together for the Passenger car line.
I have two of the All Nation NW2s. One is as quiet as a mouse and very smooth. It is the first one I got and has more running time. The other I think is an older model but was never run much until a friend gave it to me a few years ago. It is very noisey. I am hoping that the run time will quiet it down.
