I read the Athearn thread about them getting out of the kit business. And I got to thinking. We have new young people here and we have, um, older members such as myself and many in between. [:D] Just how many of you, and please realize this is nothing against any members that have not, have experienced the joy and satisfaction of building a locomotive or rolling stock or buildings from plans in MR or plans you found or pictures you took with the actual measurements using a tape measure. Realize that when I started the many choices of today were not available way back when. And the tools available were not as nice as today. Air brush - unheard of. And it does take some time to build one of these beauties. Takes patience, delays, a little enginerring, and correcting mistakes. But when done it is a one of a kind - and yours. Please share any experiences about what you built, why you built, how you built, when you built, and where you built so everyone else can get a peek through the crack in the scratch building door I have just opened.
