I too can see the benefits to having a pre-built kit. Just like locomotives or rolling stock, any modeler can choose to update, backdate, repaint, redecal...the list goes on. I'll admit, sometimes the instant gratification of being able to fill the void in scenery with a structure already built is tempting. It can sure make operating a lot more fun instead of spotting cars at a blank spot on plywood. I think that on balance, I'll use a pre-built kit if I've already planned on the same similar industry for that place on my railroad and use my time left over on something I consider more enjoyable. As always, if one is not available, then there is always the old fashioned way.
