Athearn Genesis F units ?

Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 11:22 AM

Does anyone have one, or more, of the new Athearn Genesis F units yet? They look too expensive for me, but would still like to know how you like them..I could change my mind if they are better than P2K / Atlas / Stewart.regards / Mike

One of our club members has a set of Santa Fe F3s. They run every bit as well as they look, beautiful units and superb running. I do not believe I have found a better running F unit. However, I shall stick with the older Athearn Fs that have the extra heavy weights in them 'cause the price of the Genesis Fs is just too steep for me.

I have two sets one DRGW and one SP. Both run great--every bit as well as P2K/Atlas. My units are DCC equipped and are among my most favorite locos.
