Dittos to the comments made. My first BB kit was a 50' CB&Q "Chinese Red" box car--and 45 years later (!) I still have a soft spot for CB&Q cars, even though I model a switching road in the Northeast! I remember the "Hustler" and my first F-7, both with "Hi-F" drive--i.e., rubber band drive! I remember the 0-4-2, "Li'l Monster" and Athearn's first Pacific, a pretty good looking 4-6-2. Much of my car fleet of 200+ is BB Athearn, detailed and weathered--and rugged! I, too, now buy more "high end" cars and love the Kato and Stewart switchers but also get a warm feeling seeing the old BB Athearn that took me from my first HO "train set," a Marx F-3 (?) and a few cars. It was like going into a whole new world! I still miss that CB&Q 50' box car! <br />
