Hey guys those Athearn Genesis SD70m You are talking about are from the first run and have to be assembled. It did not take me a long time to assemble mine which I did maybe 5 of them. The second run of the SD70M's and 75m's are actually completely assembled. There is nothing that has to be done except a DCC decoder if you have them. I am totally in love with the genesis models. In my opinion I know they are better than BLI, Kato, and Atlas. They run so beautifully and not loud. They run great at slow speeds. They look damn good too. As for the assembly of Katos I also did about three of them and they are such a pain too. You have to install a bunch of stuff just like the older Athearn Genesis SD70M . Just remember when you buy your next SD70M or 75M make sure it is the RTR version or be ready to assemble it.
