Reply to "Last Hurrah for MTH?"

I’m a little confused. Everyone has been saying MTH was not likely to be sold because all of their tooling is overseas and not really transferable for use by a new buyer. As such, the tooling is not really a useful asset to purchase, making any sale far less attractive. However, in the current OGR issue (another good one) there is a great article on the  Lionel 2-6-0T US Army engine (a beautiful color scheme) and they note it was made with K-line tooling purchased and upgraded by Lionel when they bought K-line. So if Lionel can purchase, upgrade, and use the overseas k-line tooling, why wouldn’t there be any interest by some manufacturer in buying MTH to use all of that great MTH tooling? The rolling stock alone would generate sales for years to come.
