[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C While not completely relevant, I dropped into my local hobby shop earlier this week, and they had the Lionel Challenger sitting quite close to the Rivarossi product. Now the Lionel was priced about three times the price of the Rivarossi, but the valve gear, particularly, looked a lot better! Has the latest Rivarossi improved up to the Lionel standard? The prices here are about $A450 for Rivarossi and $A1267 for Lionel, ($A1=$US0.73 tonight) Peter [/quote] I have the latest edition of the Rivarossi Challenger 3985 - Yeah the valve gear looks better! I placed two orders for the Genesis Challenger at my HS (couldn´t say LHS because the shop is 140 km away). And I think that the cheaper Genesis will be the better opinion - Athearn starts an unbelievable exact detailing with the coming Genesis SD70MAC. And the Challenger will be the same! Im sure that the decision was right since i notice this mistake with Lionels Gasturbine #73 - wrong airintake!
