I was not aware that you could buy RTR layotu scenery, track and roadbed, and wiring systems? I thought all those had to be built. The things that you are discussing RTR are things like buildings and rolling stock. Now I do not want RTR buildings but Rolling Stock yes. I do not want to deal with the small crap. See the real work and the imagination work is of course not available RTR. As a modeler we all must do some of the same stuff. Maybe not make trees but do the scenery. Thats is not RTR. Making mountains and rocks Wiring the layout and the accessories like the snap or tortoise switches. All that is part of the fun work. after having to do all that stuff some of us do not want to deal with rolling stock building, Although I love to build a building or structure kit then paint it. I do sometimes get the RTR structure but I paint it if I can to make it look different. That is a rare purchase though. Basically there is not a big list of RTR stuff as opposed to the "have to build" list. You might be able to get the track with the ballast on it but you still must lay the track and wire it and add the switches. RTR does not mean faster operation, just less agravation of building something for some thats all.
