Atlas to buy Walthers locomotive tooling - Brakie - 06-23-2018 Atlas Model Railroad Company, Inc., and Wm. K. Walthers, Inc. have reached an agreement under which Atlas will purchase all N scale locomotive and rolling stock tooling owned by Walthers, including the Walthers N tooling as well as former Life-Like tooling. Atlas will incorporate this tooling into its Atlas Master, Atlas Classic, and Trainman N scale lines. Walthers will continue to offer N scale items in its Cornerstone, SceneMaster, and Walthers Controls brands, including new items as well as items currently in those lines. ----------------------------------------- That does not surprise me at all seeing Walthers was never all that interested in N scale. Atlas has excellent N Scale track record so,I can't wait to see the drives under the EMD switchers. Wonder if Atlas will release those beautiful 0-8-0,2-8-8-2 and 2-8-4s?
