HO Athearn Challenger
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, October 30, 2004 5:36 AM
My loco was shipped out by Firsthobby yesterday Friday and according to the UPS tracking report
is ten miles from my Michigan home. This loco weighs in at 25 ounces( 2 more than the Riv Allegheny) and has traction tires, I'm told.
This is my First Athearn, First buy from Firsthobby and First on line purchase.

Great execution. Can't get much better.

Give us a review when you get it.
Thank you

I'm anxious to see what you'll think of it, Chuck.

Considering all the frenzy I'm excited to throttle up and climb that grade.
