Yes this hobby is getting quite alot expensive. With locomotives,rolling stock being RTR,I am and stopped purchasing new stuff. Alot of people who have posted their statements here, I do have to agree with most. if you ARE a modeler,then MODEL the stuff,NOT buying the RTR. The more people buy that [censored] RTR ,the more they will make,and the more likely people (veterans of the hobby) will stop buying them.Yes I understand that the companies want to make money,but thet ARE NOT LISTENING to what we as the modelers want!!! if they were,then where ARE the kits that Walthers,Athearn,Roundhouse,et al,are making.I have yet to see a damn good tank car that , like Walthers made years ago,that I can put together MY WAY!!! then I hear from people say that they dont have the time to do modeling or building kits?.................take it to heart folks....MAKE THE TIME!!!! I too appologize if I have offended some,but I'm sick of this RTR stuff,and I would like MORE kits to build. Then people wonder why I have stopped with model railroading.Its because the manufacturers dont care what we ( model railroad veterans and rare breeds of building kits) want,and this is one big reasons why hobbyshops go out of business,the people who used to buy stuff by the 100's are not,because who wants something that you didnt make yourself?
