Looks like MTH is using a factory in Korea for its big-ticket items like their latest release of Premier Challengers. Lionel, on the other hand, is still using Chinese factories for their high-end locomotives -- including Vision Line offerings.

Not my thing but I notice that at $1,999 as per The Train Loft's website this is $1,000 less than the fantasy D&RGW Big Boy they produced and sold out last year. That isn't any inducement to me, even as a dedicated KATY fan, but I'll bet that a lot of these models will be sold. North of $2K seems to be the new norm price-wise for big articulated steamers and as a result I am out of that market but I have no issue with people wanting to add a fantasy scheme to their rosters.
