Thanks for the wisdom, Kurt. I'm sitting here looking at some of those cars right now, from about 3 feet away. They are certainly acceptable, even "good" in my book, and they will look nice on my layout once I get it going. You are exactly right, for someone who desires a large operational layout, there just isn't enough time to be an expert at everything, or at least there isn't enough time to spend on each individual car or structure to make them all "Best of Show." Gotta compromise somewhere.... and be a "jack of all trades."
As DocWayne said, the only person you have to please is yourself. I'm very happy with where my modeling is headed!
On the rust-bucket thing, it seems that the prototype cars that really attract my attention are the dirty gritty ones. And as such, I am afraid that my fleet is going to be pretty banged up and rusty.
Thanks again for the kind words.
