To me the part of the hobby I enjoy the most is the building. I don't mind spending 8 hours building a car from a kit. Aren't hobbies called pass-times? It is very rewarding to do it. I also like to add the details to the models. The thing that frustrates me is the same cars that I bought last year as kits for $7.00 are selling RTR for $28.00.
I'm glad I got a lot of them. As far as Locomotives and rolling stock, I have all I need so I may resort to scratch building if something turns up that I want. There are quite a few locomotives I would buy, but I will have to get used to the new prices. It is hard when I can remember going to the store for my mother and getting a quart of milk, a loaf of bread, a huge nickle candy bar, and 2 cents change from a quarter. My how time marches on.
