I have 1, a GP-35 painted in Chessie. That one engine is responsible for me getting totally hooked on this hobby after a 26 year absence. I have a similar experience to sparkbolt, first train set was an AHM with a Monon RS-3, used it until it couldn't run anymore. Fast forward 26 years later and I came across a hobby shop. Stopped in, and the clerk showed me the GP-35. The quality blew me away that day. I to used to watch it with the shell off. <br /> <br />Since the purchase of that one and only Athearn I've since bought Atlas, P2K, Kato, etc. <br /> <br />I'll always keep it as a reminder, great engine, and it only took 1 to get me hooked.
