Regardless of if you like them or not, ... <br /> <br />(and it seems to me from what I'm reading that OLDER MRRers like them better than NEWER MRRers - I personally think they have been out dated by better detail and drives. I don't buy them anymore, and would gladly replace the handful I have if Atlas, P2K or Kato would make that model loco!) <br /> <br />... they seem to be "drying up" in this area. <br /> <br />Only a few (and I mean less than five!) can be found in my LHS. And they don't seem to be planning on getting more - their sales are in Athearn RTRs, Genesis, Stewarts, Atlas, and mostly P2Ks. There is little demand for BBs. <br /> <br />At the rate they are vanishing, soon they will not be an option for those who DO want them. <br /> <br />But I don't care - I've got two Atlas GP7s, an SD24 and a Dash 8-40C on order with state-of-the-art detail and drive systems !!! <br /> <br />And I just got P2K's great looking and running GP38-2, and another Kato SD40 with it's smoooooth drive ! <br /> <br />So .... Athearn BB who ??????? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
