A little Q about those EMD "Centennial" locos...

The model situation is a little complex - Athearn made a DD35 rather than the "Centennial" DD40AX. Bachmann offer the full DD40AX as UP bought though I'm not sure what the model is like. I can say that the single-motor Athearn isn't worth bothering with as standard - there's not enough "grunt" in it to cope with the weight of the loco and the extra-long driveshaft at one end is a pain. Mine will probably recieve a new motor or motors at some point. There were also B-unit versions that looked much the same but minus the cab (similar to the GP9B).
