It's simply not as simple as the four possible answers you guys have designed into the pole. And being rail nuts you surely realize this. Why? We (all right,, I) buy stuff for all sorts of reasons. Most, say 67%, I certainly buy for assemble and immediate use. But then the layout gets mostly up and running. The buys shift to rolling stock (a chronic, long lingering and certainly fatal disease the Ediors carefully avoid in print, probably to let us die peacefully rather endure pangs of whatever sort or recourse to a 12-step group.) One buys for gratification, right? We already have a full-string fruit express, but an aching need for just one more ore car to flesh out a decent size unit train (and what is right size may stretch over time, right??). so that's buy-assemble-use. But the industry knows we Crave. [:D] So they run one-time-only-or-you'll-never-see-it-again limited (only three containers, hey) runs. And local club, organization and memorial labeled runs are out there, too. Maybe buy to protect against want, whether its ever built &/or used or not. Finally, there is a sub set of the buy and hold group. That's the guy/gal who buys to amass the most extensive inventory of rolling stock kits as gillions of boxes set up in endless book cases. Really, finally, there's also structures, scenery, people & critters (that last a really weird sub-sub group of critter collectors dotes on maxing out the critter population HIDDEN in plain sight on a layout. Lot more 'n four categories, really.
