Absolute Scale Models - ASM - ASModels - AS Models

USA

2003-2005

Proposed manufacturer of removal box-bodied vans ('pantechnicons') and trailers for transporting racing cars, scale unknown, but likely to be close to 1:87^th scale and aimed specifically at US 'Amtrak' model railway enthusiasts. Products were announced in 2003, but nothing came of the venture and the plug was pulled in 2005.

What They Say

"It is with immense regret that I have made the decision to close the doors to Absolute Scale Models. I started ASModels 2 years ago in hopes of being able to bring the products that the mainstream manufacturers were not interested in producing to the hobbyist that longed for their availability. My interests stemmed around commuter and passenger operations, where there was much lack of the unique equipment out there. While the goal may have been ambitious [...] the focus was simple, to produce Resin models and to network with other producers. Through our operations we were pleased to be able to carry the lines of Imperial Hobby Products, Train Station Products, AZL, and Trucks N' Stuff...."
