Sure, I've heard of them!  I own several of their Large Scale locomotives.  Most Accucraft/AMS models are higher-end Large Scale items, primarily made of brass and in 1:20.3 proportions (narrow gauge in Large Scale), with some designed for operation via electric power and others in live steam.  I have both Plymouth and Whitcomb switchers from Accucraft, and used to have several of their live steam models (which I sold because I don't have the outdoor space to run live steam these days).

Check the St. Aubin Station (and other) ads in "Garden Railways" and you'll find a good number of Accucraft items listed and depicted. Very nice products!

They not only sell great merchandise, they are very nice people.  They have a dot com.
