Well, you can’t say Lionel didn’t try to get some production out of China. Hopefully this shows all the lunkhead “experts” that just saying “move production back to the US” is WAY easier than to actually doing it. I suspect, this little experiment also cost Lionel a bunch of coin.
I have a few of the milk cars (original cars) and they are spectacular. I hope the new tooling is close to the original. If not, the price of the original cars will surly remain high. Also, these cars are very desirable to the two-rail crowd as they are often found selling at the O scale shows for conversion to 2-rail.
One last thing, Dave did point out the “hidden tab” trucks for this run. Not sure if this is new or Lionel has been bringing this feature back, maybe someone can confirm who knows.
