Well, I have always preferred building them as kits but as I age with a lack of feeling in my hands and eye issues I have been buying more RTR cars. Some are as good or better than the kits. I love Red Caboose and other fine kits but their tiny plastic grabs are beyond me now. I only do kits now to get a particularly needed/wanted car for the layout.

  I'm trying to build a roster of standard gauge cars from a 1940s ORER and if it calls for just one car then I might buy a rtr car, however with a fleet of cars I have turned to 3D printed cars where I only have to add deals, trucks and couplers so my amount would be $10

 First, thanks again to everyone who sent in their modeling era of preference data!Now, how much is the convenience of RTR worth to you?  That is, if a kit costs $25, how much additional are you willing to pay for the car already assembled and ready to go onto your layout?
Example of answers:$0, I love to assemble cars from kits$2, I'm pretty ambivalent when it comes to building my model fleet$3-5, I would really prefer not to have to put the parts together Please respond with whatever dollar amount is appropriate for you or a percentage if you prefer.  Again, the combined results will be shared and used to determine the direction for future offerings.Thanks,Jim
