Lets face facts. Unless you model some sort of industrial railroad...logging...mining...etc. or work equipment most standard gauge freight and passenger cars are BASICALLY the same for any given era. The paint job is what makes them different. The same can be said for most diesels. So RTR equipment has become popular, I suspect, because of the repetitious nature of amassing a fleet of rolling stock. Buildings, on the other hand, are mostly different so building KITS give a modeler a chance to kit-bash or change things around to suit their needs. Also buildings are usually made up from flat panels with details added on making it easy to alter most kits. Buildings and scenery, this is what makes our layouts different from each other. RTR buildings are also coming on-line for those who want them. "G" scale is my main focus but I am also building a small CITY style switching layout in HO. I'm also building a "micro" layout ( 20"x39" ) in Gn15.....1:24 scale on HO gauge track. http://carendt.com I can take a layout this small to swap meets and mall shows. May all your weeds be wild flowers......OLD DAD
