Who else noticed that in Athearn’s latest newsletter they refer to the HO Challenger as their FIRST Genesis Steam Locomotive?
What about the 2-8-2 and 4-6-2? The boxes in my basement both say “Genesis”. Or, given all the problems with these two models, are Athearn trying to change history and forget the 2-8-2 and 4-6-2?

Just read your post at the above link. Now that is an article and worthy of being published in MR. Of course, it will never be published because it’s in depth and far too long, which is sad.
