Athearn did a great service to this hobby with their inexpensive kits that for years were "good enough". But frankly, they no longer are "good enough". Having also realized that I have too many freight cars, I'm in the process of both getting rid of cars entirely, and replacing lower-quality ones with higher-quality ones. Five years from now, I would expect to have only a handful of Athearn cars in my fleet. On the other hand, I'm very distressed at how suddenly (or so it seems to me) the hobby has gone from offering high-quality kits to concentrating on much more costly RTR.
