There still are those of us out there whom prefer kits. I get my enjoyment out of building it and admiring my work...rather than seeing a RTR locomotive and cars race around the main. It is also easier to kitbash a kit than something that is ready to run. But there is definitely less of a market for kits than in the past, since operators are no longer forced to build their power.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
