Made in America All Micro-Trains rolling stock is designed, tooled and produced in the United States. Located in beautiful southern Oregon, Micro-Trains’ 33,000 sq.ft. factory resides in the small city of Talent. For over 45 years Micro-Trains has been producing model trains, start to finish, right here in the USA. With over 50 employ- ees, our crew is dedicated to manufacturing the highest quality models in the industry and providing the highest level of service possible. Our in-house engineering and tooling departments push the limits of plastic injection mold tooling to create some of the finest models in the world. Once tooling has finished the mold and plastic has been run, the shells and related parts move on to our decorating department. The decorating process requires a variety of printing machines and special techniques to get the micro-fine print and mask detail that you find on our cars. The final stage is the as- sembly process where the cars come to life. Our assembly crew utilizes a combination of pneumatic jigs and hand assembly work to put the dozen or more pieces together for each car. We are proud that, to date, we’re the only model train company in the world that offers more than 160 styles of N and Z scale freight, passenger and locomo- America / Made in New Product tive equipment. If you are coming to southern Oregon and would like to see our factory firsthand, contact our front office a couple days in advance and we’d be happy to give you a personal tour. Thank you for your continued support of our American-made products! On The Cover Several years ago, master modeler Scott Mangold, gifted his amazing 8’x16’ N scale layout to Micro Trains. The layout took him nearly 30 years to build and was based on the SP Siskiyou line. It features a hidden three-tier helix, a working turntable and roundhouse (featured on the cover), mul- tiple tunnels and turnouts and many struc- tures wired for lighting. The layout is used regularly by our engineers for product test- ing and provides an important focal point during our factory tour. Micro-Trains will always be grateful for Scott’s passion and generosity. 3 Leading Quality Heavyweight 3-2 Observation Car With over 130 body styles available, we proudly offer the largest selection of N scale body styles in the industry! Our models N Scale Rolling Stock feature details such as die-cast metal underframes, ultra-thin foot stirrups, windows, and operating doors and hatches. We also incorporate etched metal with some of our body styles to offer the most prototypical details possible. And all of our models come equipped with our Magne-Matic® couplers.

  • AAPRCO & RPCA Members Meet to Develop Their Response to New Amtrak Regulations
    Volume 1 Issue 6 May 2018 AAPRCO & RPCA members meet to develop their response to new Amtrak regulations Members of the two associations met in New Orleans last week to further develop their response to new regulations being imposed by Amtrak on their members’ private railroad car businesses. Several of those vintage railroad cars were parked in New Orleans Union Station. “Most of our owners are small business people, and these new policies are forcing many of them to close or curtail their operations,” said AAPRCO President Bob Donnelley. “It is also negatively impacting their employees, suppliers and the hospitality industry that works with these private rail car trips,” added RPCA President Roger Fuehring. Currently about 200 private cars travel hundreds of thousands of miles behind regularly scheduled Amtrak trains each year. Along with special train excursions, they add nearly $10 million dollars in high margin revenue annually to the bottom line of the tax-payer subsidized passenger railroad. A 12% rate increase was imposed May 1 with just two weeks’ notice . This followed a longstanding pattern of increases taking effect annually on October 1. Cost data is being developed by economic expert Bruce Horowitz for presentation to Amtrak as are legal options. Members of both organizations are being asked to continue writing their Congress members and engaging the press. Social media is being activated and you are encouraged to follow AAPRCO on Facebook and twitter. Successes on the legislative front include this Congressional letter sent to Amtrak's president and the Board and inclusion of private car and charter train issues in recent hearings.
