I'm talking about rolling stock here and as the title states: Who are the manufacturers that still produce kits in HO Scale? If this question has already been asked and answered previously here in the Model Railroad Forums, could you please post a link to that thread(s)? I see that Accurail and Bowser are still producing kits, are there others? I see people complaining about the high price of rolling stock and I can't blame them, one bit! In todays dollars, a maybe typical 20 car freight train will cost around $600.00 and that is utterly ridiculous! When I started out in 1988 building my layout, I was typically finding Athearn Blue Box kits for $3.00 and $4.00! When I decided to start building more detailed cars: super detailing Athearn, MDC and other cars; or, buying Branchline and Proto 2000, I was paying $12.00-$16.00 for a kit! Between $30.00 and $40.00 now, is just plain crazy!
So, I'm saying lets unite! You guys stop buying these expensive RTR cars and start supporting the manufacturers still making kits and let the chips fall where they may!
Anyone still producing kits needs to be recognized and supported; so, who are they?
