<P>Glad you are on the right track. =)</P> <P>I dont know about the lack of "cheap" rolling stock. I took home a pair of Atlas Trainman Watkins Salt Covered hoppers for like 12 each RTR. They are a bit modern for what I want to model but are such "Cheep" cars that were well done.</P> <P>It would take me a long time to convert a car to metal wheels and kaydees. Sometimes I prefer to wait until a manufactor actually produced a better kit or RTR. I then sell off the old stock and use the seed money to get the new replacement.</P> <P>As mentioned by others, Rolling Stock will get very expensive. I occasionally get a box of #5 Kaydee's so that when the plastic imitators get destroyed or fail the new kaydee will replace them.</P> <P>One rule on the Falls Valley... if it is plastic wheels? It is bad ordered and sent to the shop for metal wheels (And new trucks if needed)</P>
