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.

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!
