In addition to Athearn and Rounhouse, I highly reccomend Accurail. Their kits are high quality, easy to build, well detailed, and are well priced (list price is usually $11-12 ). They are also made in the USA!

I'll second (third/sixth/twentieth???) that one. Accurail's kits usually are easier to build than Athearn's or Roundhouse's, their parts usually fit together better. Only problem I ever had was fitting the door latches on the (open-top) hopper cars. [:(!][banghead][banghead]

Stewart's aren't bad either, IIRC. Could be wrong though, I only built one!

The Proto 2000 cars are great! A good intro to Intermountain-style kit-building! They're easy, but time-consuming.
