Athearn Roundhouse AC4400

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hello,

I probably missed some new information from Athearn about their new product line. I noticed that tomorrow is a deadline for orders on Athearn’s AC4400. I am interested in buying models with new NS painting.
However, models are marked as Roundhouse. I know only Genesis and RTR product lines.
Could tell me more about Roundhouse, please?
What one can expect about models? How this line is positioned ? I see that there is no sound version - only DCC ready. What about details? Similar to Genesis or rather RTR level ?

Athearn has ‘re-branded’ some the old ‘Blue Box’ line of kits into the ‘Roundhouse’ line of RTR…

I suspect they will be similar to ‘RTR’ line.
