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.

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 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
