 I had forgotten about the vise grips and hammer...doubtless to align and superdetail 'blue box kits'. ;) I can't help but think when someone posts: 'I have X dozen or Y hundred Athern cars' they are separated from 'have your layout built by the professionals' only by the size of their checking accounts. The attitudes are identical, no interest in growing in the hobby. Fergie has a point when he says: 'Not everyone has the ability to be a modeller'. I agree. Few, if any, of us enter model railroading at an advanced stage. However, everyone has the ability to develope the skills to be a modeler. Not to aspire and act to do so is to miss the point. I can't think of any avocative interest you enter a novice intending to remain one. Athern is the most common entry point, a function the company has served well. I hope and expect they will continue to do so. As the first step into the hobby Athern is necessary. I can't imagine not taking successive steps. Ramdy
