breezinup posted:From comments made in an earlier thread, it appears that production was stopped due to lack of sales. Loss of the Lionel trademark certainly isn't going to change that situation; make it worse, if anything. So your question is probably moot.
I had a similar thought when reading the thread title.
There were comments in other threads regarding that the combination of renewing the license and the volume of sales were not a situation that made it beneficial to continue the license.
They did mention maintaining tooling accumulated over the years, so while I suspect it's way too early to suggest Tinplate is done, it would not be surprising if it is slowed down a bit.
Probably not a good idea to get too enthused about a wish list of new things in the immediate future though.
