The biggest Little Railroad

Selling over 1.5 million models a year Athearn can rightly say to be the "biggest little railroad in America".
So we are proud to be an international distributor of Athearn. We offer all models of this long-standing US manufacturer through our dealers to the modellers in Europe.
Athearn History
In 1943 Irv Athearn began to build 0 scale freight cars in the kitchen of his mother. Since then the name stands for high quality and a very good cost-effectiveness. These values formed the basis for success.
Even today Irv's heritage can be found in each model's form, value and quality. The models presented on this website are only a small collection of the comprehensive Athearn range. You will find more models on the internet at www.noch.de or at your dealer.
We always keep you "up to date"!
