Rivarossi
ChatGPT said:
Rivarossi was founded in 1945 in Como, Italy, by Alessandro Rossi, whose passion for trains began in childhood. Initially producing trains geared toward children with realistic speeds, the company soon shifted to higher-quality, detailed models. For over fifty years, Rivarossi became known as one of the most exotic and collectible model train producers. After going into receivership in 2003, Hornby Railways acquired the brand’s assets in 2004, including Arnold, Jouef, Rivarossi, and Lima, and continues to sell Rivarossi products under these labels today.
