i think while the high priced high detail kits may sell well now and in the near future there will be a sharp decline at some point. not just due to the rtr kits. i strongly disagree that the hobbie is growing. while sales maybe high, prices have gone up on many items. but the number of people buying will decreese at some point. i am 19 and i know nobody my age that is into model railroading. i have two brothers. one is 16 and the other 12 who are both really into model RRing, but they also know nobody else who is into the hobby. when i go to train shows i see very few kids. sure there are a few, but not up to the number it should be. most of todays kits are all at home glued in front of the TV with their game box or what ever. <br /> <br />... so anyways, i think prices of this rtr stuff is too high and i hope that my local hobby shop will continue to stock BB and round house kits because i refuse to pay the prices they charge for the new RTR stuff. its simply more than i have to spend on a car or loco or what ever. i simply will not buy it. i'll just stick to buying used or what not if it comes to that. but i dought it will... at least any time soon <br />
