It is my opinion that everyone who bashes Athearn locos for their poor running quality are those who have enugh money that the term budget is not in their vocabulary. 2/3s of my fleet is Athearn and I am proud of it. Yes they are a little tricky installing decoders in, but I manage and if anyone comments about the nois they make. I just reply "Hey! I paid 200 bucks for that sound decoder!" <br /> <br />Im my opinion, Athearn's are the Fords of model train locomotives, Delux models like Atlas, Stewart, BLI, are nice. But they are priced extreamly high. Modelers like me, (Who is in college and has limited finances.) need to make their purchases of such models extreamly carefully. Plus there is the fun in taking an Athearn unit and detailing it all out to look like the Atlas or BLI. It is modeling liket hat that I am in the hobby. And lately I am finding that that enjoyment is being taken away. <br /> <br />Well I have ranted on eneugh, <br /> <br />James
