Didn't Arnold buy the Lima Corail coach moulds?

Any takers for Arnold resurrecting the old Lima Corail coaches? Does Hornby have the moulds? Are they to scale as they seemed a bit thin to me back in the day.

They are quite unique in the Eurofima dominated 1970s European express stock.

Certainly all the tooling in the possession of the Italian Idee Commerciali group ( Lima,Jouef,Rivarossi,Arnold,Pocher ) was included in the sale to Hornby and I should think that these Lima Corails would be part of that sale although some tooling was sold to the company marketing Minitrain when Lima ceased their production of N scale.

Whether these tools are still around with Hornby and lodged with a Chinese maker for future use is open to debate.
