Consider the possibility that there are those among us that don't have
the desire or ambition to deal with that "landscape of protoypes" and
appreciate a good kit when it comes along.
The Grand River grocery store and Smoky Mountain ventilated boxcar are
both good examples. I would never bother to try to scratch build
verions of either if these kits weren't available.
And before we go down that tired old "S Scale is the scratchbuilders
scale" malarkey, remember that people also scratchbuild models in ALL
the other scales.
