GEC: I've seen most of this stuff before, but it's been a while. Nice to see that there's still modelers out there who don't just buy RTR stuff!I almost never buy RTR, but not because I love to assemble it or anything. It's because of the price. I can get an Athearn Blue Box kit for a fraction of the price of a similar RTR car. The detail lacks, but with a little weathering it looks acceptable and someday I may get around to detailing my rolling stock... Of course, I do have a ton of scenery to finish, soon to be three locos to install decoders in, solder (or re-solder) 1000+ rail joints, ballast the entire yard, paint and decal most of my locomotive fleet, "patch" some freight cars, paint and decal three buisness cars, convert 15-20 cars to metal wheels, scenic a mountain (literally, Mt. Allen), plant a couple hundred trees on said mountain, finish three ponds, build two rock faces, finish scratchbuilding a road bridge, and a city to finish. Oh, and I also have to squeeze operating sessions in between all that work so that I don't go crazy... Ah, the joys of having a large layout... Maybe until I'm ready for op. sessions, I should hold work sessions... [:-^]
