I would venture to say that there is a large amount of tooling in China that we do not know about. For instance what happened to Bill Bensons Right of Way Industries tooling. Best that I can guess is that either Sunset Models or MTH suppliers have it. I also saw some used O gauge boxcars on Nicholas Table that were marked with the name of a totally different manufacturer like UMB Made in China or something similar. They looked identical to Lionel box cars. Anyone know anything about that company? There is also the Industrial Rail tooling which reportedly Atlas has.
Bottom line-no shortage of tooling with the Chicoms manufacturers.
