[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by fec153 Hey group- is it just me or does anyone else not like Branchline kits. I just don't like using those large nuts for weights. {no smart remarks please.} Also the car bodies seem cheap/chintzy. I now have 2 only because of the RR,s they represent. Any comments? Flip [/quote] Actually, after a bad experience with one today, I don't care for them anymore. They included 8 rung ladders with the kit, but the positioning pins on the ladders were not only too wide but not at the right heigth to fit the ends![:(!] I just shook my head and put everything back in the box.[:(] That's why I like Intermountain and Red Caboose better, in fact I have a IM covered hopper kit waiting to be built as soon as I get a etched-metal running board for it. The box didn't even include one!! That's another gripe I have about kits, is it too much trouble for them to check that everything's unbroken and all there before they sell them? Anyways, I've decided to start again on the Modern Burlington Route because I already have some modern equipment, and the idea is still interesting to me, no matter if I'll sometime have to order custom details or paint everything myself. (Since all I'll be able to have for a while is a few modules anyways, I might as well lear to airbrush while I can't operate...) Christopher
