Introduction
Welcome to the fun and rewarding family hobby of model railroading and the company that is working everyday to keep it that way.
Begun in the 1920's by Stephan Schaffan Sr. as the Atlas Tool and Die Company, Atlas has a proud tradition as a family owned business with a reputation for quality and innovation. From its modest beginnings as a tool and general machine shop, Atlas has become a leader in the worldwide model railroad industry, specializing in N, HO and O scale model railroad products.
In the 1930's, Stephan Schaffan Jr. joined the business and started to create the machines and processes that enabled model railroading to grow. One of "Steve's" first projects was to develop a fixture to solder switches together. This eventually led to the invention of the first practical rail joiner. Steve went on to develop and patent such innovations as FLEX-TRACKand SNAP-TRACK. His was one of the first companies to mass produce HO track products, the most widely used scale in model railroading today. He was also among the first to import and manufacture N scale products.
