are sure that modelers will be very pleased to see these great
buildings back in production as part of the Atlas O family of
products,” said Phil Walthers, CEO of Wm. K. Walthers, Inc.

wide range of O scale modelers. The variety of commercial and
industrial structures will enhance existing layouts quickly and easily.

quality line of structures,” said Tom Haedrich, Atlas CEO. “We think
modelers will find new inspiration for their layouts.” Plans are
underway to put Atlas’ own unique touch on these appealing structures.

buying agreement comes on the heels of the announcement that Atlas O,
