So maybe someone can tell us where all the tooling, jigs, molds and production equipment is going?  

It doesn't have to go anywhere. Who knows where the K Line tooling was? but Lionel obviously had no trouble finding it.

Now if Lionel were to "aquire" the MTH tooling, imagine the variety of Legacy choices there would be, and the monopoly prices to go with it.

There is video on youtube of the factory currently making many of Lionels steamers. They have video of products made in several different scales for several different model train companies.

It looks more and more like the only difference between any model train, is the name on the box.

Of course this is nothing new, Kenmore, Whirlpool, Frigidaire.
