QUOTE: Originally posted by gbailey The trouble is that Athearn wants to price their RTR close to the P2K or Atlas cost, but without having the better detail and drives of the Atlas and P2K locos. THAT'S why it is a rip-off. They make a loco of Atlas Master quality (which they haven't, even in the Genesis line), and I would have no trouble with their prices. But Athearn is content to try and follow, not to try to lead.
