Yes, resin kits do cost more. They also sit on the store shelf a long time and eventualy go on sale. However, for a $30.00 resin kit ( okay $45.00 with trucks and couplers) I would be modeling for about 30 hours. A $20.00 plastic kit would give me about 5 hours of modeling. For me I get more bang for my buck with a resin kit. Also I get to choose which trucks and couplers to put on, and not have it dictated by the manufacturer of the kit. (All my couplers are KD).That said, it would take me a long time (years) to populate a large layout. <br /> <br /> So, if your objective is to build a lot of cars and run trains, go for the plastic. Personally, I get alot of enjoyment in the building of the car.
