I have an Atlas RTR International BN caboose and N.P. Hopper. I have one Athearn RTR N.P. wide vision caboose and that is all. Locos are a differant matter as there are so few kit locos available. It becomes even more difficult, when you settle on a rail line that has few offerings on the market. <br /> <br />I have made a consious decision not to buy anymore RTR rolling stock, as I am diametrically opposed to what the RTR stuff is doing to the availability of kits. I don't believe it when people say; They don't have the time or patience to build a shake the box (to build) kit and don't understand why you would pay so much more for RTR. However, these folks are driving the market and manufacturers will do as the market demands. I likely have more than all the cars I will ever need, so this issue is becoming moot for me. <br /> <br />I can see a time when it may be justified/necessary to drop the "Model" from the Model Railroading Hobby.
