I voted "last month" - has been a while since I last built one - think my most recent was a dummy GP50 in SF livery. I have to say the "Blue box" kits are some of the best I've found, in any scale. Admittedly they don't have the detail of the latest Kadee cars, but on the other hand they are about 1/3rd of the price. They are also far tougher, which is handy if you travel to exhibitions. The only minor problem is that sometimes the finished car will not go back in the box for storage. Fitting Kadees can be a little interesting sometimes, but I've not yet found an Athearn model requiring major surgery to fit Kadees. I hope the blue box kits stay in production for many years to come - surely they're a superb way to encourage new people into the hobby?
