Athearn is far from discontinuing their product line. Athearn products are readily available at almost every hobby shop, the largest line of diesels and cars available on the planet. Athearn moved into a new plant near Long Beach, California and has expanded production as well as increased the number of new offerings. There may be companies come and go, but Athearn will be with us for years to come. It wouldn't be far off to compare Athearn in HO as you would cars to General Motors. <br /> <br />Walthers will no longer be the distributor for Athearn and that is why you will not see their product line in that catalog. Athearn dates from the 1940's and has been expanding ever since. Quality to the line continues to improve and their Genesis series of diesels is considered some of the best HO locomotives ever made. <br /> <br />Many years ago I was an Athearn distributor in Southern California. While we had problems with some of the other brands Athearn was always the one we could count on for product.
