Rivarossi

Rivarossi is an Italian manufacturer of model railways.

Rivarossi was founded in 1945 by Antonio Riva and Alessandro Rossi.

[1] In the 1990s Rivarossi acquired Lima (1992), Jouef and Arnold (1997).

The cooperation with Lionel broke down over financial issues after only a year.

After Athearn, just about all Rivarossi products, and its sister company Pocher, were distributed through AHM (Associated Hobby Manufacturers).
