Legacy Tank Engines

I assume Lionel has the old K-line tooling?

A reissue of the old K-Line tooled 4-6-6 suburban tank or it's Hudson predecessor with Legacy would be sweet especially since it was designed to run 0-31 min curves.  However, the access to the tooling for both of these superb K-Line models has been a tight lipped affair.  Several years ago when Lionel announced they obtained use of the K/L Berks, Mikado, A5 and 2-truck Shay tooling for Legacy offerings, I pestered Mike R at several York meets about the 4-6-6, but each time Mike said L did not have or plans to use what remains the last of the scale steam K-Line tooling. 

Possibly Bachmann/Williams's parent Co., Kader, still has the tooling for both the Sub-tank and Hudson and are either demanding a high price for its use or are holding on to it for possible future use if Bachmann/Williams slowly continue to expand their O gauge product line.  The K-L 4-6-6 or Hudson would certainly be a great premier model to offer by anyone.

Did K-Line make a 4-6-4T? Or only the 4-6-6T?
