Bachmann Industries -- Another Philly Area Company

From time to time I run across a PA or Philly area company that is new to me. Today was one of those days. If you know any train hobbyists you might be familiar with HO train systems -- those model trains you sometimes find in an uncle's attic or garage or tucked away in storage as the remnants of someone's boyhood.

One of the leaders in the manufacture of these train sets and systems (they can get very involved) is Bachmann Industries. There isn't a company history on their site but toydirectory.com has this to say:

Based in Philadelphia since 1833, Bachmann Industries is the world's best-selling manufacturer of model trains.

What a cool corporate gem to have in our area!! No information on the corporate site regarding investor relations so I assume it is a privately held company.
