I have close to 200 Athearn rolling stock. I started buying their kits 20yrs ago. When I first started getting them, they were some of the best for the price on the market. They are easy to modify to run very well. Metal wheels, weight, and Kadee #5 make Athearn go a long way. [:)] They are fun to weather and detail. I have a couple of their newer RTR cars, but only because the price was very right. I think RTR takes away from the hobby in general. I have a lot of Accurail and Intermountain, etc. kits as well. In many ways these kits are better than my Athearn kits, but that doesn't mean I don't like my older Athearn kits too. I do, however, tend to buy other brand kits now instead because they are a better starting point for about the same price. Warren
