Father’s Day is June 15!
Father’s Day is right around the corner. Why not give
the special guy(s) in your life a gift that will provide years
of fun and enhance his hobby at the same time? Atlas has thousands
of products at every price point in N, HO and O scales. Economists
predict people will be spending more time at home this summer.
Model railroaders will surely spend some of that time working
on their layouts.
Your guy might enjoy putting together a new trackside structure.
Atlas offers a wide variety of structures and accessories,
starting as low as $2.65! Perhaps Dad would like some of Atlas’s
new vehicles – cars, trucks, station wagons and classics
- now available in N and HO Scales, starting at under $10.
Our many layout and instruction books range from $3.25 - $10.95.
Bridges, turntables, track add-on packs, signals and more
are available at all prices.
Is your guy contemplating starting a layout? If you’re
a model railroader yourself, why not share your hobby with
a friend or loved one this year? Atlas has Train Sets and
Track Starter Sets in all scales. Our popular Trainman®
Train Sets come ready-to-run right out of the box! Our new,
economical O-27 Industrial Rail™ line of sets, locomotives,
track, transformers and freight cars are flying off the shelves,
especially the fun trolley and hand-car.
Atlas is always coming up with something new to keep the
world’s most traditional and enduring hobby fresh, exciting
and accessible for all. When you buy Atlas, you know you’re
getting the very best quality and value on the market today.
We invite you to peruse our All Scales
Quarterly Catalog and our entire website to find just
the right gifts that will bring a smile to your special guy
this Father’s Day, and for many years to come. You may
shop online, or find an authorized Atlas Hobby Shop near you,
via our International
Dealer Locator.
Happy Father’s Day to all the great Dads, Uncles,
Brothers and Grandfathers out there, from all of us here at
Atlas, who believe in Model Railroad Fun…for Everyone!
