Are any microchips made in the USA?
Yes, model trains and scale railway accessories are still manufactured in the United States, though the vast majority of mass-market hobby products have shifted production overseas to China and Korea. Select boutique companies and high-end brass or specialty manufacturers continue to build products domestically. For instance, classic American toy train giants like Lionel maintain specialized engineering, custom decoration, and limited-edition assembly lines or administrative design hubs stateside, while niche artisanal manufacturers produce ultra-detailed scale brass locomotives and custom rolling stock components locally. These U.S.-made hobby items appeal heavily to dedicated model railroad collectors seeking heirloom-quality craftsmanship and precise historical accuracy.
