Hello all,
A quick question: I’m looking for some reviews on the Athearn F59PHI in relation to the prototype? I read one really bad review calling it a toy and not a model because it wasn’t an accurate reproduction of the real F59PHI. Is that the case?
Thanks!
Tim
That is a judgement call that only you can make. I’d suggest you go to www.railpictures.com and www.athearn.com and compare photos of the prototype and the model. Athearn has applied some paint schemes to their F59’s that have not been applied to the real deal, but those are the obvious situations. Observe the models and prototypes for yourself and see if you can live with the differences.
