Model Rectifier Corporation has announced that they will produce and market Model Power’s railroad products under the Model Power brand. Model Power and Mantua railroad and accessory products will now be available worldwide from MRC.
Frank Ritota, president of MRC, explained that “the plan is to use the obvious synergy from the melding of the product lines to create new, profitable opportunities for our dealers and distributors, as well as innovative product experiences for railroaders and other hobbyists.”
Adam Tager, formerly vice president of Model Power will fill MRC’s newly created post of Director of Product Development. Tager described Model Power’s train sets, locomotives, rolling stock, structures and accessories as “the ideal complement to MRC’s DCC and DC train controls, sound and accessory decoders, and JTT scale landscaping products.”
Very good new indeed! I hear they were going to build some new N Scale steam engines in different wheel arangements than what has been produced by Model Power. Hope they will under the new masthead of MRC. Looking forward to seeing what comes out with this deal and the new products in the future. Thank You Gentlemen!
Happy to read what is taking place to increase my railroading building experience by the newly formed partnership.
awesome pawesome!
I hope they do some update and detail improvements.
Fan-freakin-tastic!!! I love it!!!
gOOD!!!
way to go MRC just another reason to like MRC
This is good news. I hope MRC continues to produce the entire Model Power N scale line, including the Steam and Diesel locomotives, rolling stock and N scale figures. Thank you MRC for not allowing another model railroad producer go by the wayside.
I am very happy to read this. It would have been very sad to lose another line of unique model railroad products.
