R-T-R: Does this mean it is Ready-To-Run or Ready-to-Rebuild? How many of you buy RTR rolling stock and put it on your layout straight out of the box with no modifications? From what I read here on the forum, RTR really stands for Ready-To-Rebuild. Seems like most folks change out the couplers, wheel sets, trucks and even grab irons. Is there a way to let the manufactures know that it would be more cost effective for them and the modeler to sell their models without trucks/wheel sets and/or couplers so that a person could buy what they like/use as far as the type of trucks, wheel sets and couplers? They should offer both RTR and ARTR - Almost-Ready-To-Run. [:D]
