dcb_13 I recently purchased an Athearn Blue Box BNSF 791
I just googled that locomotive because I was not familiar with it.
That is a nifty model.

Thank you. The original motor that is currently installed works, I just wanted to upgrade it to something better. Thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate it.
You might be better off with the ATH84086,
It looks like the Genesis motor is made for the RTR's with the frame ready for a speaker.
The ATH84086 is meant more for blue box locos.
There are other motors that you could use, but I'm not familiar with them, as I've always used Athearn motors.

Good afternoon. I recently purchased an Athearn Blue Box BNSF 791 kit (special addition primer). I would like to upgrade the motor to something newer. Will the Athearn Genesis motor (HO Genesis Motor Retrofit Kit for RTR SD45/SD40 - G63839) work or is there another motor that will fit? Will anything fit?
I look forward to any advice you may have. Thank you.
