For me the Athearn BB was a fair exchange of value. I got the R-T-R BN 38-2 Pride a couple of weeks ago and the BN F7A F7B set today. For me the jury is still out. The paint detail is better but it still needs NWSL or Jay-Bee wheel sets, Accurate lighting and a handful of Cannon, Detail Associates, Detail West and Smokey Valley bits to get the look right. The guts still need the typical tune-up of darkening the steel on the power trucks, the weight needs to be painted. To me the BB had a $20 advantage.
