1. I'm not sure there ever was an actual transfer of assets (tooling) with regard to the ROW Signals, Trackwork and 20' Containers. The folks producing them today likely created their own tooling. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this one.)
2. I don't believe ROW ever made plastic passenger cars. Theirs were brass.
3. The tooling for the ROW die-cast FT bodies (A&B) was indeed produced (...and hence was the downfall of ROW).
