Athearn just put pictures of their new Genesis CSX and SCL SD45-2s on the HO section of their website![:D] The engines look great, and here’s the good part; They’re finally adding pilot details![:D] The MU hoses are more visible on the SCL version. Here’s a link to the SD45-2s:

I just might have to get one.[:D][:D][:D]
Thanks for the link.
That SCL unit is a beauty! Appearnce wise it looks just as nice as an Atlas.
Looking forward to getting one. I don’t want the sound version if it still comes with an MRC decoder. I’d rather get a Soundtraxx DSX or hopefully the diesel Tsunami in it.
I just hope that they do a Blue Bonnett Santa Fe and I would even love to see a Montana Rail Link too (if not then I’ll just custom paint one)
I hope they run good.
I emailed Athearn about the pilot details but have not heard anything yet.
Fortunately they are adding these important details that all the prototypes had.
Aw man, looks great! Do I spy a Gyra light on the SCL unit?
That CSX version looks nice too, but I’m gonna wait for Conrail in the next run.
hmmm $240… maybe one day
Good. Now they need to do a second run, including CR patches.
Don’t let the price scare you James. Discount deals will eventually kick in.
they look nice
Yeah 240 sounds like somthing Tower 55 would make.
The $240 price tag is only for the ones with sound installed. If you go to page 2 of the SD45-2s, you’ll see it in the same railroad names, but without sound for $140.[:D]
Yeah,but that $240.00 includes DCC and Sound…That’s the going prices even from Atlas.Check around for the best discount.[:D]
The non DCC/Sound units is $140.00…Again the average asking price from Atlas,Kato and other brands.Again shop around for the better deals.[:D]
