Prices on everything have gone up.why should a hobby be cheaper? Hobbyist's or should I say compulsive buyers within the hobby may price themselves out of the hobby,but way backin the 70's,my wages were under $100 a week and prices back then seemed high.Brass and craftsman building kits ran more back then too.Maybe the gotta have it types feel the pinch more, but we always buy what we can afford,whether it's rtr or not. Some makers,Kadee and Atlas,don't offer kits in their freight car line,and if someone made a building that I liked ,rtr, I'd buy it. I like kitbashing but someday someone might have just what I need, so to each his own, are prices higher,yes, but this hobby's never been cheap.
