Okay, I admit it: I NEED HELP!
Polished off six last night and just bid on eight more kits on eBay today!
Seriously though, Accurail, P2K, and Intermountain kits are getting a good deal more attention from me these days. The Blue Box stuff is slowly being retrofitted with wire grabs,thinner stirrups and some better brake rigging. Down to the short rows on the must-have list for the layout roster. Next stop: scenery installation until I pass out! Onward![swg]

Two per week. I do them while I watch TV on the nights that things are slow. I work on my Branchline kits when I have TIME.

The local Hobbytown USA just got about a dozen Athearn Blue Box locomotives in. Unfortunately, they did not get many freight car kits.

I only have about 4, one of which is really old and was assembled by someone else, but I still consider myself addicted. Why? I don't even do HO anymore, but I still enjoy assembling HO kits [:I]
