I have no idea where the molds for the SD40 were. I am pretty sure the RS11 and U25B were totally made in china. I have a set of the RS11s and had the U25s, and I think the boxes state "made in china".
the higher end freight and passenger cars would be the stuff that Atlas bought. the exception I think might be the B60 baggage which Lionel seems to be building, but maybe the contracted with Lionel or the chinese maker for these. The H30 hopper, war emergency gondola, B&O Wagon Top, Milw rib-side box, and Troop cars were part of what Atlas got.

MTH purchased the Weaver SD 40-2, E8, and the "butchered" ALCo C628/ C630 molds at the turn of the century.
