Hi Rusty,

Same thing applies to LionScale:

Die-cast trucks are imported.

Bodies molded in Pennsylvania.

Bodies are painted in North Carolina.

Graphics are applied in North Carolina.

Cars are then assembled in NC.

I believe I stated basically the same thing, just not in the same detail.  As you can see I am aware of what is being assembled domestically, which was in response to another post:

"The trucks still come from China.

Lionel is assembling rolling stock in NC.  They don't have on site molding equipment.   (This is where I failed to define Lion Scale assembly... or perhaps I should have just added the word: some)

The molding for Lion Scale is done by a US sub-contractor, assembly and decoration is then done in NC.  I'm not sure where the unpainted 6464/9700 bodies come from, but unless they had new tooling cut, the 6464/9700's are most likely molded in China."
