American Model Builders Announces Closure

The manufacturer of the Laserkit product line has announced their closure after over 40 years in business via their website.


A statement posted to laserkit.com reads: “American Model Builders is now closed and the LASERkit product line has been discontinued.

The family of the late John Hitzeman, founder and owner, and the extended AMB family, would like to thank the model railroad community and our contract customers for over 40 years of patronage!”

The St. Louis, Missouri-based manufacturer, best known for their Laserkit product line, which included offerings in HO, N, S and O scale, had initially opened in 1984.

The author hopes someone picks up their product line as he purchased many of their products in the past.
