I will have blue box kits as long as Athearn keeps making them.The locomotives will last forever and are easy to work on and tune up.Throw a NWSL motor in there and they will run as good as a Kato.Kato has the best tuned drive in the hobby.You cant compare the two and be fair.Kato is high end while the blue box is entry level.I have as much fun out of my blue boxes as I do my Kato units.Add some basic detail parts and they become a good looking unit.I was hoping Bev Bel would be around for awhile but it looks like Horizon cut them out too.I loved the Bev Bel decorated freight cars.Also looks like Railrunner will disappear too.Dan
