Maker record
Atmofer
Atmofer made artisan HO scale models of French railway locomotives. Its products included a Y 7100/7400 model released in 1991 and a BB 9200 model made around 1995. The BB 9200 had a resin body, a Roco motor chassis, Carmina pantographs and separately fitted details. These models place Atmofer within the French railway-modelling field, rather than the general toy and collectible categories previously described.

The story of Atmofer
Atmofer was born in an era brimming with innovation and creativity. It was during the vibrant 60s, within a small cobblestone studio nestled in the steeped streets of Milan, Italy. Six toy enthusiasts, each with a distinct artistic touch and a shared passion for vintage toys, decided to pay homage to the century's old tradition of toy making. Over time, they've grown to adorn the collection of every avid toy aficionado. A delightful nugget for collectors: Atmofer’s vintage toy named 'Circo Volante' is heralded as a collector’s holy grail, for the pieces are rare and exhibit exquisite craftsmanship. Their journey, much like their toys, is a testament to the joys of childlike wonder and exploration.
