K-Line no longer exists, and their tooling has been "shared" among several different manufacturers.  When K-Line went belly-up, they owed a big chunk of change to their manufacturing partner in China, Sanda Kan.

Sanda Kan also produced trains for Atlas-O, Williams, Weaver, and Lionel.  When K-Line went south, Lionel offered to market K-Line in their own catalogs for a short period of time so that Sanda Kan wouldn't be left holding the bag of a K-Line bankruptcy.

That agreement is now over.  So... you'll now see K-Line tools being used to manufacture RMT, Williams by Bachmann, and Lionel.  But so far, most has been used by Williams by Bachmann and RMT.

Hope this helps.

Check out Kadar Holdings of Hong Kong, a major train manufacture that ended up with the K-Line tooling through their acquisitions. As stated previously Kadar Holdings has either sold or leased some K-Line tooling to other electric train companies but has also kept a lot of the tooling in their inventory for their subsideraries such as Williams by Bachmann.

 

Kader Holdings Company Limited The Kader Group of Companies Established in Hong Kong in 1948, Kader celebrates 60 years as a leading plastics and toys manufacturer.
