Rivarossi did too, back in the 50's and 60's.

Hi Guys. Rivarossi made HO trains for Lionel 1956-57. Athearn was 1958-59. After that Lionel using the Hobby Line dies made their own up to 1967. Lionel tried again In 1974 to 1977 using some of their early items plus using Bachmann for some of the other items.  Carl

I think Athearn did an F7 A and B unit below foe Lionel except it had an L on the shell.
Bachmann did the GP30, I have one in BN colors.
I'm sure there's others but this is all I know.
What did Rivarossi and Hobby Line do to help Lionel?

Lets not forget that Fleischmann also made a Pacific for release by Lionel. And yes it was a cataloged item.
