Reply to "K-Line Porters and Plymouths - who has the "molds"?"

Sanda Kan had them after Maury Klein sold all of his K-Line tooling to that Chinese manufacturer. Under license, Lionel contracted to use some of that tooling while Sanda Kan remained an independent manufacturer. Sanda Kan was subsequently purchased by Kader, the parent company of Bachmann. Kader discontinued Sanda Kan’s relationship with quite a few American train manufacturers, including Lionel.
