May I step in and say "Time is the Tyrant" here. Athearn kits are very nice for those who can put one together in about an hour or less. Accurail is very nice for details. The old Trainmasters sadly is no more. Round House to me needs to modernize a bit. Time is what most people dont have. Between my commitments in real life and the hobby so far it has taken me about a year to rebuild my collection. I even take advantage of some nice ready to run. Such as the Intermountain 40' reefers. I also use ready to run cars or cabooses as a starting point for kitbashing. I am not afraid to repaint a caboose that cost 30 dollars simply because they do not model a favorite road. Any kind of hobby takes time, skill and knowlege. It is our duty to maintain the tribal knowlege and encourage our children and thier children to keep the flame lit. Model Railroader has done so much to guide us over this last 50 or so years. I believe they will continue to do so long after I am dead. It is one of the few wholesome and "Clean" hobbies left in this world. Good Luck all. Lee
