I guess I'm an oddball too. I was at a hobby shop also and the only kits I could find were boxcars. I have enough boxcars, everything else was ready to run. I can't afford the rtr kits. To me this hobby is becoming a white collar hobby. The RTR does seem to be taking over the hobby. I'm afraid that this will happen because if it does I won't be able to afford it anymore. It is obviously a sign of changing times and ways of thinking. I'm a 60 hour a week employee with a wife and three kids and a mortage and I still find time to work on my trains. We as a people just want to be too busy. I want to enjoy life while I have it, so I would rather sit down and build a kit instead of buying a RTR, pulling it out of a box and setting it on the track. There's no sense of of pride and accomplishment in this. It does make me wonder if the world is becoming a RTR world, what are our grandchildren going to be like. just my opinion, Jeremy Go Packers!!
