Did you know that Athearn, Kato, Bachman, Model Power, and MDC/Roundhouse are all owned by the same mega company? Horizon Hobbies, Inc. is the name. I was looking for a locomotive and looked up MDC RoundHouse because thats one of the manufacturers I can find this one particular model by. Well on their page I saw " subscribe to Athearn News." I thought that was odd. I thought they were two different companies. Then I saw the bottom of the page...

SO, I went to Horizon Hobby Inc's website and there it is...all of their proprietary brands.
So much for competition being a driving force.
