First of all, thank some members of the Burlington Route HS's Yahoo! group for this information; <br /> <br />You can still buy IM kits-DECORATED!! <br /> <br />The catch is your LHS or wherever else you get your car kits has to be a Intermountain dealer. You also can't get the decorated kits from Walthers anymore, for the most part. This for me at least is very good news, because IM has recently released or announced a ton of cars for my two favorite roads, the CB&Q and the NP. Now I know I'll be able to get these all as kits soon, and that also means I won't have to spend $30 a car, which on my budget would very quickly break me. <br /> <br />Intermountain still does all molding and painting at their Longmont, CO location, then they send the stuff to China to be built. I don't care to buy my MRR cars from China, neither do I care to pay $30 for something I would rather build myself, with the kit costing half as much. Most people however probably don't live close to an Intermountain dealer, though, which makes me wonder why IM doesn't just list these on their website along with the assembled stuff, and sell it through Walthers. But this is still better than being told you can only get IM kits undecorated...
