Athearn has announced some small steam from Roundhouse and a rerun of the Challengers .

The Challengers are now $399.00 If I remember correctly, they were $360.00 list last time.

I bought 2 of the Challengers when they first came out for $250 each. Try First Hobby in Decatur.

I’m still waiting for the long-promised replacement gear for an Athearn Genesis Mikado. As long as Athearn continues to use the cheap decoders and sound systems, I’ll purchase other brands.
