There can be several diverging pieces of information, starting with "Made in USA" or "Assembled in USA". IMO Weaver had a very good to excellent graphics, paint/ stamp printing shop. Blank/non-painted cars, or base locomotives, most likely were finished here, Northumberland, PA. Another story was the Williams, or K-line, (excuse the foggy head), bankruptcy. Weaver purchased a diecast 2-8-0, from the China manufacture/Williams or K-line??, and did final graphics, and marketing. At the time the product was sold relatively cheap,?? $495??. There was some electronics activity, where several of the models were upgraded to early speed control, an emerging hot market, at the time. IMO, Mike CT.
