My understanding (and recall) is:

 

The new/recent Wbb Alco RS-3 is K-line tooling.

 

The "new" Lionel PRR K-4 is K-line; this replaced the earlier Lionel "scale"

PRR K-4 that was ill-proportioned (too long in the firebox - same frame as too-long Erie K-5, 

C&A Pacific and blue B&O Pacific).

 

The Lionel B&A/B&M/Lima Demo/SP/ATSF Berks are K-line.

 

The Lionel USRA Light Mikado is K-line.

 

The new Lionel USRA Heavy Mike is a new boiler on the Lionel (K-line) Light Mikado frame.

This is essentially prototypical, as the real USRA Light/Heavy Mikes were more or less the same running gear with smaller or larger boiler and cylinders.

 

Don't follow the diesels much, so I don't know. E-8's, maybe?

I fear for the loss of the Marx and Kusan tooling, as it is not as "snazzy" - but arguably historically more important.

Kader Industries is WBB parent company. Kader is the largest electric train company in the world with numerous brands sold in the USA, Europe, and Asia.
