Dispite what some of you will say, there are less and less kits on the market. Walthers used to provide very good steam era kits, they provide no kits now. Intermountain, LLP2K, Red Caboose, Kadee used to provide only kits. Now some of them provide only RTR and most provide both. Who knows what is going to happen with Athearn and MDC at this point in time? The demand is increasing for RTR! The manufacturer's are responding to that demand. I, on the other hand, only want kits. Kits are why I am in this hobby. When kits "Go by the boards", I will likely move onto another hobby. I am talking HO and not talking about locomotives, only rolling stock. I think it unlikely MDC will be selling any kit steam locos anymore, which is a sorry state of affairs! We all need to be aware of the fact that this is the direction this hobby is going and if we don't want to loose kits, we need to stop buying RTR and start buying kits. That's my soap box, again, on this subject!
