That just proves that it is different strokes for different folks.  I wouldn't 
mind  if
I ever saw another ready to run S Scale freight or passenger car ever.  Kits 
are great.
Smoky Mountain's freight cars have been excellent, and although they don't fit 
my local, readily, 
I will have some just for the fun of building them.

Having seen the Grand River warehouse through its stages of develpment, I can 
tell you that it will be 
missed be many people if it goes away.  There are items that have been included 
in the kit that aren't
readily available at this time, and can be used all over the layout, not just 
with the warehouse.  

Thanks to Grand River Models for another quality building to join the likes of 
Banta, BTS and Ragg's to Riches.

  Hi Pieter, I just think an expensive kit is something we won't miss
  that much. I'd rather see the manufacturers concentrate on the
  universal stuff like window castings, siding materials, detail parts
  etc, so we can build any building we want instead of buying a fancy
  box with one specific building in it. 
  I actually want to scratch build as little as possible so I welcome
  all products, especially ready to run scale modern freight cars and
  locos but I think we should focus on more bang for the buck when it
  comes to scenery, there's just too many possible buildings to satisfy
  everyone when picking a kit to market. Everyone can use windows and
  doors though to build their own factory, mansion or shanty....dave
