I had lunch with a friend a couple of weeks ago and we had a
good
discussion on his current project building old Walthers wood
freight
car kits. Modeling is about doing what you like doing. And yeah
I
still build old Athearn kits -- I build them better than Athearn
does!

thought about what those with stock piles of kits they'll never build are
going to do with them? In my opinion, now would be the best time for them to
recoup their money. In another 5-10 years I'm afraid the kits will be next to
worthless.
