I prefer the Athearn kits because you have to build them, thus weighting a car is done to your own satisfaction. With the pre-built cars so popular now, you have to be concerned with them not being heavy enough (by NMRA standards), and figuring out how to add the additional weight without destroying the car-you don't have that problem when you build it yourself. And of course, the kits are less expensive than r-t-r's.
