Yestaurday ,i had the greatest pleasure of purchasing a Athearn Genesis SD-70m. This is the second athearn at these prices,before these were the bachmanns and life like. Untill i opened the box ,and saw what has to be done to have a detailed locomotive. There are five bags of plastic parts,one bag with <br />metal grab irons. So far i have spent two and a half hours and installed eight <br />grab irons. My neck is now killing me, and there is now seven more illustrations to go. I thought i would buy this excellant running loco, put it on the track and enjoy. It looks like a weeks work left to do. For the money i spent on this loco i wanted a complete RTR unit., not a kit. Its fine for you modelers that go for kits,but i think athearn should label their boxes "FOR EXPERIENCED <br />MODELERS ONLY". I weigh 210 lbs, when i try to pick up a grab iron ,all i see are fingers. beside all this i spent thirteen dollars on a #79 drill,and a pin vise. <br />This really discouraged me,but the two athearns are the greating running engines,smooth and quite. Now to apply some ben gay,where it hurts.
