Atlas' Announcement

HILLSIDE, N.J. — November 19, 2025 — Atlas Model Railroad Company, Inc. announced today that it has completed the acquisition of substantially all assets of Micro-Trains Line Co., the Talent, Oregon–based manufacturer renowned for its precision N- and Z-scale model trains, couplers and accessories. The transaction marks a significant expansion of Atlas’s manufacturing and product-development capabilities within the U.S. hobby industry.

Under the agreement, Atlas will assume ownership of Micro-Trains’ molds, tooling and associated intellectual property, ensuring continued production of the brand’s distinctive products. Production will transition into Atlas’s manufacturing and supply network, ensuring availability and consistent quality worldwide.

“Micro-Trains has built an extraordinary legacy of quality and craftsmanship,” said Jarrett Haedrich, Executive Chairman of Atlas Model Railroad Company. “We are honored to carry that heritage forward and ensure that modelers around the world continue to enjoy the realism and reliability that have defined Micro-Trains for decades.”

Eric D. Smith, CEO of Micro-Trains Line Co., added: “Our family and team are proud of what Micro-Trains has meant to hobbyists everywhere. Atlas’s commitment to excellence and long-term investment in the model-railroad community makes them the right partner to continue that story.”

Atlas confirmed that Micro-Trains’ existing dealer and distributor relationships will continue uninterrupted.

“Micro-Trains by Atlas” production will resume in 2026 following a brief transition period.
Both companies emphasized that the integration will focus on preserving the authenticity of Micro-Trains’ designs while leveraging Atlas’s engineering, logistics and production capabilities to broaden innovation and future product offerings.
