I think Athearn has actually inproved thier line.The SD50 was the best Athearn to date to me.All the current production blue box units have the newer shafts and motor.Very smooth running compared to a few years ago.I bought 3 sd40-2,a GP40-2 and a 38-2.Proto is equally nice.Genesis is nice but I think the MU hoses,cables,cut levers etc. should be included.All of the SD70 units I have run nice.Thier freight cars are ok but I prefer the Intermountain,LBF,Bowser and Atlas freight cars.Dan
