I have a few Athearn Blue Box engines and some P2K engines, but most of my rolling stock is either MDC or Athearn kits. I like the RTR stuff as some (sometimes quite a bit)of the detailing is far better than the inexpensive kits, but the budget just doesn't allow for the expense. I am interested in buying some Atlas, Walthers, and P2K RTR as I have seen some on sale for $6-9 each. After upgrading Athearn BB kits with Kadee's and metal wheelsets, these others are starting to appeal to me. Besides, my hands aren't as steady and my eyesight not as sharp as some highly detailed kits require. I have all plastic kit-built structures, also. For me, it's a compromise based on finances. Whatever I can afford at the time, I buy. Right now, with some companies offering Athearn BB kits for $3, it's hard to pass up.
