I honestly prefer kits (preferably Athearn Blue Box), although I did just buy and Athearn RTR UP 50' Boxcar for $15.00. It's very nice, I got my $15.00's worth. But, it does lack some features that come with kits. For example, the doors don't open, the coupler pockets stick out, and I've yet to figure out how to get the body off the frame. But, the bonus was that it came with metal wheels, which is good since metal wheels don't dirty up the track so much. So in the end, there are pros, and cons, but I still prefer kits.
