[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole The only assembly involved in an Athearn Blue Box locomotive is putting the shell on the frame and attaching the handrails. Unless they have changed in the past two years, the IHC diesel engines use an upright pancake-type motor only on the rear truck with the front truck unpowered. Very poor performers that are too fast, light and underpowered. [/quote] So they have changed, now the kit, not ready to run, or geneiss (the ones on the websith that are listed below genisess ( http://www.athearn.com/Products/HO/Default.aspx ), bottom right? And whitch would be better? IHC, Bachmann, Athearn, or Proto 1000/2000? thanks alexander
