If a manufacter came out with o gauge locomotive kit would you buy it?

No thanks! Have plenty of other things I need to assemble.

Gunny

I would as long as it was cheeper ...

This would definitely not be for me.

I think it would be a great thing if kits were offered, especially if they were cheaper.

I'm one of those guys who likes to build things so I'd like to see a nicely detailed kit in fact several of them .It'd be nice to have a hand built "J" ,Y6B or a challenger running on the layout.

I think I would like this. But the loco would have to be something very special and iconic. But it could be fun. BigRail

Yep. Why not. Might be fun. Certainly worth trying once.

I would try it once. Sounds like fun the first time....dunno after that. I think it would depend on what value I felt I got out of it, i.e. was it easy enough or hard enough to be considered fun for me?

Yes ... for sure. Irregardless of the price.

Also, it would be good with the kids. I enjoyed building R/C cars and trucks with my kids.

I think I'd give it about 2minutes thought and then be ordering it.Poppyscaboose

No.

YES.....been chasing a AHM/Rivarossi 4-4-0 kit for MANY years.....I have the IHB 0-8-0 and ICRR 4-6-0 kits, a number of HO kits built in years past. I'd love a nice O loco kit. But I feel that is a minority opinion. Plus when I was working for a group that was having hobby items made in China said it was cheaper to sell assembled items than a kit would be......

Built kits all the time in HO. I would love it if there was a good selection of kits and I could build and detail using photo's. For an example, I wish I could get a kit for a GP-7/9 and build it following CNJ photo's. I built one and detailed it in HO for a push-pull I built. Even kit bashed the Control Car. Used a lot of Detail Associates and Details West detail parts.

Yes, I love to assemble anything that is a kit.

Thanks guys for your replys.I have put together h.o. boxcars.But because i have aged trying to put together h.o. boxcars.Is a very bad headace in the making.If i tryed any kits it would be o gauge.Hey didn,t a company called intermountain.Have o gauge boxcars in kit.It would bre fun if i could get a sort of genric 4-8-2 or 4-8-4 or f7,gp9.Some locomotives that every rail road had.That way you could get decails.For your favorite railroad.

AH!!!!!!!! NO

Yes, if it was a Heavy Mikado kit.

Count me in for an O gauge kit locomotive. I would love to put one together.

So would you be willing to complain about your shotty workmanship after it breaks, dies, or what have you? The forum could be very quiet.
