Mike, back in the last century American Models did have a label on their
engine boxes that claimed they were made in America. I would assume
that it actually meant it was assembled here because I think all their
motors were from Asia. I also think most of the earlier freight cars
were cast here. At the Dearborn convention we saw a hopper car mold
setting on a shelf. That being said the people who actually had the
injection molding were elsewhere. I would bet the only S manufacturer
to actually make their own plastic castings would be PBL in California
besides the long ago Loco Workshops boxcar kits--what a relic!
