Am I a Cheapskate?

My approach to freight cars is similar to how I handle scenery. <br /> <br /> I begin by putting a large number of 'passable-looking' BB and similarly-priced freight cars on my pike to have somewhat long trains. Then, as the money becomes available, I'll buy one or two of the higher-priced precision-detailed cars to replace the older ones. Just like I add more detail to my structures (vents, gutters, interior lighting etc.) a little at a time. <br /> <br />Maybe in 15-20 years I'll have a world-class layout. But I want to enjoy running trains <i>today</i>.
