THE STORY OF AMERICAN MODEL TRAINS
Posted by POTRZBE on Thursday, May 3, 2012 8:36 PM

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 part pdf that was sent in an e mail from CTT.  It appears this was an article in CTT some time ago.  It also looked like there was going to be a follow up type article on Kusan.  Was that ever done?

I have the AMT AT&SF passenger cars plus a few of their boxcars. Really nice product for that time period.

I don't believe there was one written.

There is a long out of print book about Kusan - Greenberg's Guide to Kusan Trains (published in 1987) that you could probably find for some absurd price on Amazon or eBay.

I also have a hazy memory that the Greenberg's Guide to Williams Trains had a bit about the AMT/Kusan story in it as well. Having copies of both books, I think $39.95 would be about right ...
