An interesting disussion , to be sure . I'm probably showing my age , but RTR has never appealed to me ....bought a RTR Kadee box car for $25 a few years back and thought I was crazy . I don't scratch build rolling stock , just structures , but my stash of kits bought 10+ years ago is finally paying off for most of what I need these days . If I do need a particular flat/gon/caboose etc. , I look for kits at the shows .....usually $20 buys 4 ( atleast ) ...and kit bash 'em . I guess my steel modeller background makes me OK with building the structures I need ....besides , I enjoy it . I notice that a majoriy of young people I encounter are completely against building things . There seems to be a fear factor of making a mistake . Too bad , they're missing out on the fun part of the hobby .
