<p>One of my hobby shops is FULL of them with a walkway featuring a rather complete line.</p><p>In fact I have 6 BB's on Back order and one or two waiting for my next visit.</p><p>I buy these things and equipt them with 148's and Metal wheels at a very competitive prices against thier RTR stock which is a little more expensive and require the same upgrades.</p><p>Last year I had a stack of frames, weights and doors delivered; enough to repair or replace for the next 10 years my small group of 40+ BB boxcars.</p><p>Hardly the sign of a dying line.</p><p>Now I do see them at the trainshow and expect to see alot of them again in April at the 819 shops....</p><p>The only issue I have with these is price. They routinely ask 10.00, 15.00, 20.00 etc for kits unbuilt. I just buy the ones I want cheaper at the hobby shop.</p><p>Finally but not last, China produces these kits now. All of them... hopefully. Thier factories must either be behind with all of these production orders yet unfilled. Some of the BB backorders are approaching thier first anniversary on new production kits.</p>
