The Atlas Model Railroad Company, was founded by Stephan Schaffan Sr., an immigrant from Czechoslovakia, in 1924, as a general machine shop in New Jersey. His son Steve Jr. was interested in building model airplanes and was friendly with a local hobby shop owner. With a drive to venture into new avenues of earning money, Steve Jr. took up the challenge of improving the model track parts when the owner suggested it.

Model trains were famous in those days, but the railroads and other accessories were not available. Steve Jr. created a "switch kit" that was an instant hit. This lead to the invention of stapling of rail to fiber track, rail joiner, pre-assembled turnouts and flexible track. The range of accessories encouraged the hobby of model railroading and Steve Jr. realized that he could make it a business. While the factory was built in 1947, Atlas Tool Company Inc. was officially incorporated as a New Jersey company.

The most popular products from Atlas are Super-Flex track, Snap-Switches, Custom-line Turnouts and more and was known for its reliability and durability. The product range has expanded since then covering almost every aspect of HO and N scale model railroading. There are about 40 freight car types in more than 550 paint schemes in the N scale and HO train sets are available in over 25 different freight car types in more than 265 paint schemes; not to mention the ever expanding future range of products. The N scale locomotives and HO locomotives are well known for their prototypical detailing, printing, reliability, excellent throttle response and also smooth running. The fantastic range of electrical components available along with clear and precise instructions also attract more people towards this hobby. An array of layout instruction books complete the requirements of the train collection hobby.

The new range of accessories for Brass HO train sets include Market place products like fruit stands, display rock and signs; stylish diner areas with interior tables, benches, window glazing; car wash construction with open bay office area, air filling station, etc; drive-through bank with drive-through lanes and ATM; Substation and Transformer. The train set products include HO track Cleaning Car, HO Ford Fairmont Sedan, HO Trainman sets, HO 40' standard-height container and HO die-cast vehicles, all with new paint schemes.

The N scale products have also expanded into new models like N 20,700 Gallon Tank Car, N Trainman Cupola Caboose, Trainman sets, 50' Single Door box car, N GP series of locomotives, 3560 covered Hopper and many others, again with new paint and number schemes.

The enthusiasm and high standard of Steve Schaffan is now about 50 years old, but has never come down. Atlas is still the leader in innovation and technology in model railroad industry with the train sets that come along with the accessories, and continue to produce quality, precision products that are durable, reliable and keep the model railroad collector coming for more.
