It is at that point were RTR makes sense.
That's me. And that is the sense my append some days ago was meant. I did not want to go back to engine kits like blue box but I think entry price models like the some Bachmann Geeps are a good starting point to do your own enhancement without the fear to destroy a high value model. We do see here a lot of members starting with nice priced cars and convert them to great models.
That was my idea why a draining supply of high class/high price models might be also be a trigger to many of us to do more enhancement on low end models.
