I wonder if this outfit was tied in with Associated Hobby Manufacturerers (AHM), which imported Rivarossi and Yugoslavian-made equipment.

I believe they were part of Bachmann, I saw a vendor at a trainshow who had boxes of N scale Parkway freight cars. They all had the same style packaging as 70's era Bachmann products, only the name was different and the plastic boxes were white with clear plastic, instead of Black and clear plastic like Bachmann.
