Reply to "Atlas Factory Shut Down"

Jim R. posted:

In the long term, Atlas may regret its decision to move all of its production to China. The deal is getting worse and worse for our train companies. But for decades now, our N, HO and O gauge companies have saved on production costs enough to keep the going. Those who did not adapt, such as European firms Rivarossi, Arnold, Trix, Fleischmann and others, are gone.

That could have been Atlas.

Rivarossi is still available through Hornby.  Trix is a part of Marklin.  Fleischmann sold their HO line to Roco, but is still making N Scale.
