American Scale Models
Posted by tstage on Thursday, February 17, 2022 9:17 PM

Does anyone have a opinion on or experience purchasing American Scale Model products.  I'm looking at one of their brass ex-milk car/express boxcars.  How is the quality of the paint job and detailing?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom.

 I can't help with the paint question. I have bought detail parts and one brass water spout. The spout is very well done and detailed.

I have ordered detail parts and switch stands on two separate occasions last year.  Both times I emailed questions that were promptly answered, leading to my orders.  I will be ordering more switchstands in the near future.

Thanks, fellas.  Anyone have any experience with their rolling stock?

I have two of their brass rolling stock (gifts from my wife):  C&O 1937 AAR boxcar and and an Erie express boxcar.  Both are extremely high quality with top notch paint jobs.  My very minor complaint is the end of the cut level is a tad too long... (take a close look).

Hope this helps your decision.
