Athearn imports it, but does not make it. They contract with a company in China, but we do not know who, or do we.

According to a Nov.post by a MRstaffer, the Challenger is not made by the same Company that made the 2-8-2 & 4-6-2.

Well enough fun for now. I seem to recall that the Korean manufacturer Samhongsa was making the chassis and running gear for one of the early Athearn steam engines, but haven't heard if they are making the other ones too.

May I ask why you want to know? It doesn't really matter, as it is an Athearn model, and they are responsible for it in all aspects.

Why does it matter? Have you called Athearn? MR? One of the competing companies?

Nothing indicates the individual company, but it does say "Made in China" on the box.

If anyone knows, please let us all know.
