I have far more time than I do money. I have several RTR Steam locos ( a pair of C&O H8's included ), but next to no, RTR cars. MDC, and Athearn BB kits, and one or two RTR cars from my first days in HO trains.
Almost all of my Narrow Gauge cars, are MDC, Precision Scale, Smoky Mountain Model Works, Model Railroad General Store, Grandt Line, Durango Press, and Labelle.....and a couple I can't remember, it's been that long since I built them.
The MDC offerings were the "Old Time " series, standard gauge kits, shortened and narrowed. Most of my narrow gauge coaches started out as standard gauge "shorties".
One of my standard gauge reefers, is a "steel side" kit, and I have an Athearn "Steel side" box car kit in the original packaging .
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
