Rulon Taylor of Taylor Made Trucks created reproduction parts and rolling stock for Ives, and, to a lesser extent, American Flyer and Lionel. Taylor Made Trucks also reissued the Kusan four wheeled switcher, the work apparently sub contracted to Ready Made Toys. The switcher body only was also issued in various liveries, and, years later, was issued direct by Ready Made Trains (RMT) as the Beep.
