A GOOD QUESTION !!! I think that, when it happens, Hornby will get the EUROPEAN Rivarossi forms but not the US forms. The new passenger cars were made in China ! It´s so printed to the box. I have also a new UP FEF-3. At the box is printed "MADE IN ITALY". My dealer told me that in the customs declaration was written "CHINA". COURIOUS: In the box are the same little orange qualitycontrol - papers that was in use by ROCO !!! I´m not sure in the moment. It´s possible that RIVAROSSI (US-models) is today owned by Walthers, or RIVAROSSI is only a Walthers trademark!!! You see this in the catalogue - Rivarossi is the first manufactor behind Walthers ever! Fact is: When the new cars and the FEF-3 were made in China, and the cars were made from new forms, I´m near sure that the Lima group is NOT the owner of this castingforms. When Lima is in bankruptcy since mid 2003, they will place no order in China for this models in late 2003 / early 2004! When available - spareparts for new models comes from Milwaukee!!!
