Learn More About Your Favorite Model Train Manufacturers
As with toy train manufacturers, there has been much change in the model train marketplace over the years. A few big brands reign supreme today, but you’ll discover an astonishing number of smaller and boutique model train brands throughout history.
The top brands also vary depending on where you are in the world. For example, Hornby is number one in the UK and much of Europe. Bachmann and Lionel—two of the biggest brands in both toy trains and model railroading—are arguably the market leaders in the USA. However, there are several other contenders like Athearn, Atlas, Arnold, and Walthers.
