Athearn genesis with DCC n sound technology is beautiful n better than the old ways n now the old athearn locomotive's are worth converting to DCC n sound technology

Ordered mine yesterday. Cant wait to get it into some switching on the layout. Thanks for the great review.

[@HybridHobby]

Awesome! You should be very pleased, it’s a cool little loco with phenomenal sound and great pulling power! Can’t wait to see it on your amazing layout, keep up the great work!

[@haroldalexis4200]

Very good, I enjoyed watching this video. 👍🚞

[@HybridHobby]

Thank you Harold! More reviews to come soon!

[@lolfunnycp]

Yesss this is turning out to be such a good year for us SoCal modelers! lol

[@needs2quit1atgmail87]

Awesome vid

[@NotJeremy_]

So cool! Are you going to weather it? That would look even better.

[@MMRails]

Great loco. Great review. Me wants one.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

If only they made this engine in G scale that would be so cool

[@rodneystewart8958]

Jusy picked up 3 of these two in RJ Corman and one for Savage great switchers

[@HybridHobby]

Sweeeeet! They are great switchers and local locomotives! Update video coming soon!

[@randallellison6421]

Beautiful locomotive! If you want some inspiration when you start weathering the locomotive and you happen to be in the Marion, Arkansas area, believe it or not, there's a GP7u that BNSF uses as the Havard Yard switcher! But let me tell you, this thing is DIRTY, so if you want heavily weather that Athearn model, that locomotive may be the prototype to go look at, take care!

[@HybridHobby]

Thank you Randall, I’ll have to research that loco!

[@randallellison6421]

@@HybridHobby yeah its definitely worth checking out! Its usually sitting at the car repair shop where it's used to shuffle bad order cars that are in need of repairs.

[@betsymani2734]

What exact soundtraxx dcc decoder do they use for these models?

[@HybridHobby]

They are equipped with application specific Tsunami 2 decoders.

[@NE-Explorer]

Doesn't anybody make true HO scale railroad crossing signals
