[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by juby4life If the loco is a true "Super Power" then if I'm correct these have a decoder in it. Take the shell off and see if there is circuit chip in it. The local hobby shop here has some Athearn "Super Power" locos there and they have decoders in them. Could be. Jeremy [/quote] As I understand it, the Super Power designation when applied to an Athearn F7 denotes one with an additional ballast weight - a metal casting shaped to fit over the motor. I have one of these in Lehigh Valley livery (from the Athearn SE pack that came out a few years ago), and it's a superb hauler due to the extra weight.
