@Cadillac Mike posted:I was under the impression the initial 1988 Alco FA-2s, RS-3s and later Geep 38s along with the vast majority of freight cars were all made here in the USA and continued to be until Weaver closed its doors. They used to throw a neat little paper in the box that told the story of the development of the model and injection molder that they used. The Chinese made stuff seems to be the RS-11s, sharks and "super detailed" freight cars they offered towards the end. Then there is the Korean made (probably Samhongsa) E8 units, SD-40s, passenger car sets, brass buildings, steam locos etc. Not sure who made the China stuff since my focus is on the early USA stuff with the horizonal motor.
The early FA-2, RS-2 and I believe you are correct about the GP38-2 where made here by Weaver. The E-8s and pre 1996 21" passenger cars were part of the MTH/Samhongsa deal.
