The appearance is nice. But......... <br /> <br /> <br />The paint is chipped on many fronts <br />The sound is very bad (use your ears) <br />DCC programming issues galore <br />The unit is a racerocket geared far too fast <br />The unit wobbles over switches <br />On DC power nothing works other than the engine noise as compared to all other brands <br />The price is $100 more for the above. <br /> <br />The air is leaking from the over inflated balloon. <br /> <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Shermanhill1</i> <br /><br />BUYER BEWARE. These engines are really bad. You better listen to one before you buy it![/quote] <br /> <br />Very interesting, Sherman. <br /> <br />But let's be fair. Can you tell us specifically what's wrong with the units? Is it the motor, sound system, drive line, detailing, what? Please be specific as it would be helpful info. <br /> <br />My wife's cousin has one on order. He will no longer buy Athearn Genesis six axle units because one of the two he purchased had a warped truck. I noticed that they both growled like old BB locomotives. <br /> <br />He's looking forward to one of these Tower 55 units in the new BNSF "toothpaste" logo scheme. <br />[/quote]
