[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Ted D. Kramer JPM335, what a refreshing request this is! Here in the 21st Century, there ia a Modelrailroader who actually chooses to "model." Joe, I don't know what age you are but once you build your first loco kit, you will be joining the ranks of serious "modelers" who take pride in their own skills and accomplishments. Sure, you can buy anything off-the-shelf, open the box and run a loco that is nearly a perfect replica. BUT, it isn't yours!!! If you eventually buy a dozen brass, plastic, styrene, etc. "ready to run" locos; the kit you assemble, paint, letter, super detail will always be your favorite. If your first kit is a little disappointing, don't worry! You can go back and correct, add, delete, and modify any feature that you wi***o change on YOUR locomotive. Congratulations on making a choice between modeling and "instant gratification." Best of luck to you Joe. [/quote] Im 14 now, I felt the same way about it being "mine" when I started painting rolling stock last year. Scratchbuilding as well, but I havent scratchbuilt any rolling stock yet.
