Reply to "If lionel or MTH or maybe even menards offered locomotive kits.Would you get one?"

Well, this idiot owns several vehicles with clutch pedals, avoids "Model T" transmissions, and restored plumbing in his previous house before selling it, so has replaced a flapper valve.  But does not have machining and soldering skills he needs to build the prototype locomotives and rail cars he wants.  I am not scared of kits, of what l want.
