Hi guys, I found some Athearn CPR SD40’s I would like to get one but I’m not sure if this is a reproduction of the blue box or is it a totally new locomotive. Also if anyone has one are you happy with it, how does it run and is this a good price. link, Athearn SD40

They are great units. Best detail out there, but same old rugged Athearn motor. They are worth every penny.

They’re just as good as the BB ones, except better looking
