I have recently been using Loco Workshop 40' 10'6" AAR boxcar kits with
upgrades to model some cars. Yea they are somewhat "rough". The sides are not
too bad and the "rolling pin" Dreadnaught ends are acceptable (to me) since
they are closer to prototype than any other ends. In fact one set of sides is
becoming a 1932 AAR standard boxcar. Are they going to be contest winners? NOT!
Are they going to represent the prototype cars I am wanting? Yep.
Kits are not a thing of the future. Many many of us do not want to build them,
consequently the market for them is not large. Even you guys that want modern
models, would you put together a resin kit? How critical of the offerings would
you be? Resin kits, unless made by Mr King are at times not as well detailed as
many would have you believe. They do fill a void of a certain car tho.
Look at me, just blabbing my head off. No more preaching. I'll go back to my
corner and sit quietly. I do not want to start an argument!
