I too don't care for the RTR quaility you get nowadays. I purchased some Life-Like boxcars and am now very much turned off of purchasing anything else made by LL. I will have to disassemble them and make the needed repairs and fixes before I can <b><i>run</i></b> the ready-to-<b><i>run</i></b> boxcars. I should have started with a kit and done it right the first time! <br /> <br />I pulled some Athearn RTR boxcars out of storage, still in org boxes and have never touched the rails, that I had purchased in the '70's, compared them to the current Athearn quality and found that somewhere along the way they must have swallowed their pride because "pride in craftsmanship" it's not! <br /> <br />
