Some of it I suspect is that Kit builders are going heavily into Prototype Modelling, while most of the former BB market is going RTR. <br /> <br />I know my local hobby shop has about 1/3 of it's total kit stock in Resin, and they appear to be turning over better than the Plastic. I know there's about 5 of those in my to build pile. I don't see as much of a market for the BB, MDC or Accurail level kits. They're low-detail compared to Red Caboose, Branchline or Resin kits, and the RTR versions are a lot better (Better detail, better running). <br /> <br />Of course, I am the guy who pays RTR money for a kit (Resin isn't cheap.) I build for fun, so Resin kits are a better choice for me than RTR. And I like good detail, 75% of my 50-odd pieces of Rolling Stock are Branchline Blueprint, and much of the rest is P2K.
