"I just read here where Lionel is making product in Eastern Europe."
John, I think what you've read is referencing to Lionel's recent failed attempt to have some rolling stock produced in Romania, which turned out to be a mistake. Lionel tried and was unable to get their tooling out of Romania, so now according to Lionel, the tooling has to be re-created. The scale milk reefer is one of these cars and the other I believe is the one of the modern bathtub coal gondolas.
