Boy, I'm sorry you guys all seem to be holding something against Athearn..... <br /> <br />"They've hiked up their MSRPs" <br /> <br />Who hasn't these days? Most Athearn RTR and Genesis Items are still a considerable amount less than todays P2Ks. A good example would be an Athearn RTR SD50 for $67.00 versus a P2K SD50 for $85.00 at First Hobby of Decuater, IL. And, IMO, the deatail is as good if not better than the P2Ks! Athearn's got my money on this one! <br /> <br />"The detailing really isn't better than the old BBs" <br /> <br />Open your eyes! Compare a BB SD40-2 to an RTR SD40-2! You CAN see the difference! <br /> <br />"The new Genesis units still growl. And I payed over $100 for one!" <br /> <br />Is that a problem to you? That $100 may have been a dissapointment in the noise category, but think about the detail, the power and the reliability! Really, how many people have had serious problems with Athearns? <br /> <br />So buy what you like. But for now, I'll put my money and trust in the reliability and reputation of Athearn.
