"Don't put you eggs in the same basket" they say... One can say produce everything here, another everything over there... I think it's a good old question of balance... Anyway, they put themselves in this crazy situation. I'm pretty sure Accurail is laughing its heart content at the actual situation!
Well said, it's only when facing a crisis that an individual will develop its creativity and skills. Much more rewarding than buying everything impulsively. Anyway, I don't know of a modelrailroader that don't have shelves full of unbuild and unused stuff ready to get into the sun again.

My now limited income, makes RTR, and even most kits, an "out-of-the-question" option. These are the days when, the things I had to learn as a young hobbyist, are now some of the most valuable resources that I have.
