 Maybe it is a sign that we are getting older, because we show a certain resistance to change. No, I don´t think most of us voicing their concern here are against change, if it is for the better. I doubt that Athearn´s move is for the better.  Selling kits may not have earned as big a margin as r-t-r cars do, but it kept Athearn on the shopping lists of buyers and thus certainly contributed to the company´s marketing effort.Formerly, these companies were run by people who understood what made a model railroader´s heart tick. Now the same companies are run by the slaves of shareholder value.
