I find it very interesting to watch the industry going from the building model railroad kits to buying them off the shelf. If the hobby wants to stay viable, it should continue to offer kits that are detailed, but have to be put together and are priced much less than the current offerings of RTR offerings, which are too pricey. The young modeler, that the industry wants to attact to model railroading and continue to attact over the years, is not able (in most cases) to afford the RTR kits. <br /> <br />I would hope that Athearn and the other manufacturers continue to offer put together kits at reasonable prices.
