Atlas Model Railroad Co has just announced the acquisition of the River Point Station tooling and designs. Here's the press release:

Hillside, NJ – Atlas Model Railroad Company, Inc. is proud to announce the purchase of HO Scale vehicle tooling along with designs for certain previously unannounced products from River Point Station Fine Scale Models of Warwick, RI.

Vehicle molds acquired include the Ford Expedition EL, F-250, F-350 and more.

“Previously, in December of 2020, River Point Station announced that they would be streamlining their product line and would cease producing N Scale vehicles and we did not want to see a void left in the market, so we acquired the N scale tooling" said Paul Graf, CEO of Atlas. "After a successful launch of N scale models utilizing this tooling, we are happy to announce that we have acquired RPS’ HO Scale vehicle tooling as well and look forward to continued success with the line."

River Point Station Fine Scale Models was founded in 2006 by Ron Elsdoerfer to supply HO accessory kits to modelers. In the 14 years that followed, River Point Station grew their offerings to include HO & N Scale Vehicles. Over the past two years, River Point Station announced a scaling back of certain aspects of their business which led to this acquisition.

Founded in 1924 and incorporated in 1949 as Atlas Tool Co. Inc., present day Atlas Model Railroad Co. produces locomotives, rolling stock, track, and accessories in N, HO and O scales for its Atlas Master, Atlas Classic, Trainman, and Atlas O lines. [posted 12/16/2022]
