Some info on the new Genesis Challenger

[Anonymous]

That you all might be interested. I e-mailed them yesterday:

My message:

Dear Athearn,



Hi! I've some questions about the new Genesis Challenger. If I buy the DC version that comes with the remote that controls the sound on DC, will I be able to operate the locomotive on DCC with sound? And also, will we be able to hear a sound sample on your website soon?



Can't wait for the Challenger,



Jonathon Leese

Athearn's Response:

Jonathon,



Thank-you for your inquiry. Please note that the Challenger locomotives will come equipped with sound that will work in analog or DCC modes. We do not have any plans to offer sound samples on our web site at this time.



Sincerely,



Athearn Trains

Well, there you have it. (if you're just gonna post about how we don't need another UP Challenger, DON'T POST!)
