What I find interesting is that there's many stamping dies sitting around this country. There's all the Ives and American Flyer Presidents special dies from Dick Meyer from Rich-Art. And I understand that all of Pride Lines tooling and dies are for sale now. It's a sham that someone couldn't just stamp a bunch of them out and sell them as kits. I do know that it costs way too much to make tinplate in the USA now to sell and make a profit (not even break even). But I would love to build some custom President Special trains.
