I own the Challenger, bot it in the fire sale and my very first Athearn. I run DC so I can't enjoy all the added DCC features, but the remote & DC limited sound are an added bonus. I also own the pricey Riv Allegheny and side by side the locomotives have more similarities than differences. I also own two P2K Berks, two Riv FEF-3s and would buy the Athearn again. You should also read MR Jan 05 Challenger review. The 2-8-2 was produced by a different manufacturer.
