MTH still manufactures the ES44AC Rail King Imperial Diesel, but do they still have the tooling for the 50' double plugged box cars? If so, was there a legal agreement they could only produce the CP Holiday train for a short period of time? There currently is a Rail King CP Holiday ES44AC and the box cars on eBay, and they will sell for way over the initial price. Why wouldn't MTH stay on that winning bandwagon? I have the Santa Claus Christmas Holiday Express, but sure would like the CP original Rail King for less than $1000!
