Is that who Lionel contracted  to manufacture the boxcars ? IF so, per Lionel they are in bankruptcy.

Lionel has announced that the "Made In USA " boxcars have been cancelled for the foreseen future due to the fact that the USA manufacture selected to produce the boxcars went bankrupt. Strange that there is no other USA company that can manufacture a very simple boxcar.
