I have 4 Kato´s (3 UP and 1 BNSF) and 1 Athearn. <br /> <br />The Athearn looks good in the first moment. but Athearn models a CTE and use an old body. My one, a RTR UP Flag unit, is a bad runner, loud and rough - Hey, its inside a good old Athearn! <br /> <br />The Kato´s are near perfect - well detailed, extreme powerful, smooth running, perfect slow running. I think that the running quality of Kato will be extreme better than Athearn <br /> <br />Athearn will bring also the SD70MAC in the Genesis series - I ordered the Kato´s - Will cost the same. <br /> <br />Okay, the Genesis model will have all the minor changes that were made in the SD70MAC line - each model will be 100 % (???) correct. <br />
