quote:Kit-built engines? I don't see the point. First of all, you surely must realize that if a manufacturer ships a box of parts for you to assemble, they're now 'off-the-hook' when it doesn't work well assembled by you? Thats YOUR problem, buck-o
The point is some of us LIKE to use our hands for more than typing on the internet. Nothing to me is more satisfying then to see something I have built with my own hands, even if it's not perfect. ANYBODY can pull a "Store Bought" model out of a box and place it on the tracks.
If it doesn't work, than the builder did something wrong, don't blame the manufacturer, but in case it was the manufacturers fault, they either fix the problem or they go out of business quickly. Nothing wrong with that scenario.
Martin, I wish BTS would make a move on those kits, but from what I read they're having some health issues and need to heal before getting back to adding on to their building. As of last postings, they still have all the kit parts in storage.
