Athearn Roundhouse Model Trains
Athearn Roundhouse has been dedicated to crafting model trains with the finest care since 1938 when Roundhouse began as a hobby shop in Hollywood, California and was soon hired to build models for the film Union Pacific directed by Cecil B. DeMille. In the early years, Roundhouse was known for their HO scale and 0-6-0 model steam locomotives. Today, the Athearn Roundhouse brand continues to offer collectors’ quality products at a genuine value.
Athearn Roundhouse Model Locomotives
Athearn Roundhouse model locomotives keep in tradition with the prototypical trains they are modeled after, complete with operating lights and other details. Although known to be a value line, Athearn Roundhouse locomotives do not lack in detail or features designed to provide trouble-free operation. You’ll find many Athearn Roundhouse model locomotives include a 5-pole motor with precision-machined flywheels, all-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth operation, all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable current flow, and McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers.
Athearn Roundhouse Model Passenger and Freight Cars
No model train would be complete without the passenger and freight cars! Athearn Roundhouse offers HO scale passenger and freight cars to compliment your road-name specific model locomotive. You’ll find our model train passenger and freight cars offer great value with features designed to operate on all popular brands of track. They also include McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and many are weighted for ease of operation and offer a separately applied brake wheel.
