The current trend in Model Railroading is indeed a greater shift to RTR models. And why not? some of this stuff really is quite good. I myself have built many simple kits like Accurail and Athearn, up to the likes of P2K, Branchline and Intermountain, and then all the way up to resin. Which I have enjoyed a lot for the most part. When I got in to N-scale just about everything I bought was RTR, except for a GHQ/Kato L1 I built, and I because I don't have a layout, I started enjoying it less and less. Recently I've become more interested in actually building kits, since its something I can work on with my hands. But even then, I get a bit bored building them when it gets repititious, and repitition isn't always very fun. Another point: I don't care for elitism in model railroading, the idea of saying, or acting, that anybody is somehow less of a model railroader by the fact that they do not build stuff is not what this hobby is about. This hobby, like others, is to escape the obligations of real life and have fun in your own way, at your own pace and not care what the rest of the world may think. Alvie.
