Ok guy's I'm going to say it again, production in a BIG way will never come back.
you guys thing it would be easy to drag a company from China and set up here. Besides all the issues with the move you have all the regulatory issues, environmental laws, and maybe union issues and many other things from the federal, state and local authorities. Nobody today wants a union. One of the reasons Lionel is in NC.
If I was Lionel I would keep production in China for NOW.

For the “move manufacturing back to America” crowd, I encourage you to watch the documentary “American Factory” on Netflix. It’s about a Chinese company that opens a factory in Ohio. The contrasts between the American and Chinese workplaces explains why so much manufacturing has left the US.

I’m not saying that I support it. I’m just saying that I accept reality.
