    I’ve been contemplating the CSX variant of this for a while! Now that I’ve seen a video on it, I placed my order first thing! Thanks for your reviews!
  • Awesome review, keep up the good work, I've been thinking of getting back into model railroading thanks to you!
  • @trainstorm1225
    Nice review, James. I got the MTH HO Berkshire coming in the mail tomorrow. Hope you do a review on it. Also hope the move went well!

    I just got the WalthersMainline ho SD-70ACe CSX lightning bolt version, and it looks great for $97. 😁
  • Thanks for thw vid James. These are nice however I'm spoilt and have come to expect certain features on my locomotives. Hopefully the T3 GEVOs will show up in the Genesis 2.0 line.
  • Wow those are very nice locomotives James, I see you got NS 7539 which I have the Intermountain version, but it does not have the first generation K5HL horn in it’s sound. I am selling it as I am modeling my local railroad. It’s cool to see they put the first generation horn on both which is correct for the real ones. I didn’t see the NS units bell but I am sure it’s an E-bell, although the CSX has a mechanical bell. Keep it up 👍🏻
  • Since ScaleTrains has theirs coming out Athearn will probably do the different versions also. Plus a AC4400 since they have molds.
  • Personally I am a steam fan along with early diesels, but if someone likes modern equipment they look like very good models.
  • I got the same engine for Christmas only mine is a bachman and is ns 8114 the heritage unit, the only difference in detail from the atheren from what I can tell is my rear ditch lights dont flash
  • @CameronCobb
    Does anyone have a preference between Athern’s version and Intermountain?
  • @bufordhart730
    James, can you please do a matchup between Athearn P42 Genesis locomotive and the Kato P42 Genesis locomotive with pulling power...
  • I have been very pleased with the Genesis models. Its a huge toss up these days with Scaletrains being a top contender. I still consider Athearn Genesis in the top 3 best units.
  • @IsaacAmadeo
    Is this the same engine scaletrains just announced?
