I think the newest, duel model decoder with sound, Genesis F units are the best on the market period!!. I have owned both brass and Stewert with the Kato drives, while they were nice and smooth running, the newest from Athearn outdoes them all, the details on the shell are museum quality, the duel mode decoder has the mars/gyralite effect even in standard DC mode. And the drive is a copy of a kato drive using a motor from Roco. The onboard sound and DCC are a brand new setup from MRC for Athearn and the sounds are right on, you might have to change the horn and bell rate for your particular unit and these are all programable from the factory. I remember the waiting to see if Highliners would do the A unit that never happened. As for the ATSF warbonnet being done correctly, from my digital photos of the real unit in CA and the model here in front of me, its the closest I have seen, almost perfect in my opinion. I just hope they reissue the Monon F3's with sound soon!! Cheers Mike
