Is this hobby getting expensive or what!?

Yes, it is getting expensive !! Too much RTR rolling stock, with Intermountain kits and such, I can see the RTR. But there are a lot "shake inn the box" kits that are coming out ony in RTR for more than twice the kit price.

I just wi***hat when they advertise RTR that they are RTR. I just bought some RTR Rivorossi UP passenger.cars, but they still need grabs to be drilled, installed, and painted.

I was reviewing another thread on this forum regarding places to buy MR products on the internet. Everything (cost) seems like it is going through the roof.

Over $18 just for one Athearn Genesis box car [:(!]- my goodness. (I do have one of these cars, but that's about it.)

Is it just me who feels this way?[V]
