I think Rivarossi has been around in the US longer than the late 60s, more likely early to mid 60s. I have a Rivarossi Pennsy style A- type 0-4-0 that I have owned since 1963 or 64. I also think AHM was the first distributor here in the US. I have a new Rivarossi Mike which I converted to a N.P. W-3 Mike a couple years ago. It is a smooth, quiet runner and pulls well! This is from after they put RP-25 type flanges on the models. I also owned a I.C. Casey Jones 4-6-0. It was another good runner, but did eat its' side gear once, because Rivarossi did not secure the screws with lock-tight. Overall I think they are fine models. Compaired to our more modern plastic steamers now, they were asking to much for them.
