HO Athearn Challenger

My loco was shipped out by Firsthobby yesterday Friday and according to the UPS tracking report
is ten miles from my Michigan home. This loco weighs in at 25 ounces( 2 more than the Riv Allegheny) and has traction tires, I’m told.
This is my First Athearn, First buy from Firsthobby and First on line purchase.

Great execution. Can’t get much better.

Good to hear the news that they are being shipped.
Give us a review when you get it.
Thank you

I’m anxious to see what you’ll think of it, Chuck.

Considering all the frenzy I’m excited to throttle up and climb that grade.

Great news !! What road number did you order? I’ve also got one on order from FirstHobby (#3985). Hopefully mine is being processed soon as I’m anxious !! Let us know what you think.

SAME.

yes…let us know how this comes out!
