Who bought the MTH Premier PA diesel molds? I don't see PAs in the lists of molds purchased by Lionel and Atlas. Or does MTH still own the PA molds?

The only one who would know would be MTH.
Unlikely Lionel would buy them as they have their own PA molds now.

Yeah, I think MTH still has their PA and their E8 molds. For whatever reason, they haven't made any. I'd be happy to see more of them though.
Yah I’d like to see either back into production. What’s nice is being able to build your own power consist - A, AA, AB, ABA depending on road. A little while back I got 3 Frisco E8 “A” units. All different horse names. I run a single “A” AND a second train with a powered “A” and an unpowered “A” (Frisco had no “B E8s). Super cool !!!!!! 😜
Cheers 🙂
As the new company progresses, I suspect if they have the molds we'll be seeing new releases at some point. I was surprised by the C40-8W release a couple of weeks ago, but then I remembered Atlas had their own already. Should be interesting to see what materializes over the next year.
I would buy a set of either PAs or E8s (or even the DL-109s) if they would switch the blind wheel arrangement from:

to:

I can't stand having the blind drivers near the tank.
