Hey Those CSX locomotives look really outstanding even though I know they are HO gauge for me I m in N scale Trains I have been in N scale Trains for 45 years now And I love it I m a N scale Train Collector I have 125 N scale Locomotives and I have just over 5000 train cars and they all look great

Hi DG I am very impressed with your CSX Athearn AC 4400 engines. Best test review i have ever seen. Athearn did good with these. Enjoy your engines. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

These are some excellent and handsome looking GE AC4400CW locomotive models from the Athearn Genesis 2.0 series, these CSX models are spectacular and have well defined accurate prototype details applied to them. The detail level applied to these Genesis 2.0 models makes them decent competition against the Scaletrains Rivet Counter series models of the AC4400, both of these manufacturers' models have accurate prototypical details and both look incredible. Excellent locomotive model product review as these engines really are amazing- Tom.

I just wished I can see them in N scale trains

Great review Derek! I just bought an Athearn genesis this week. Had to get an SD70 ACe in MRL since they were acquired. How do you like the foreign power on your tracks? I love them, especially the lighting, outstanding! Thanks!

I think the price is Astronomical for what you're buying yes the detail is awesome but . Does therice Justify the means How many people can actually afford to pay $369 for a locomotive

Those beautiful units derk I am getting some in bnsf and kcs I been focusing on my layout lately I am going to a train show in Montana I also been driving miss u buddy

Have always liked Athearn, back to the blue box era.Having Soundtraxx is a plus for me, and the volume is plenty loud.Other brands are similar quality and design anyway these days.Thanks for the review.

[herbertw.jr.carrier]

Very nice looking models. Great review. 👍

[paulkirkmanMYTRAINS]

I can say that was the best review I have seen !!!! Very well done. The unit detail differences are amazing. Good job !!!

[RFMCabooseNP]

Welcome back. I have mine on order but have not received them yet. Great review.

[sparky]

I have 2 live streams posted about the you tube meet and greet.. I do hope ya can make it

[houseofrandomness]

These are great lookin engines. I received the UP patched 6289. The details on that were amazing. These 2.0's are very well done.

Nice units there Deryk. It is about time Athearn caught up with the competition.LED lighting, tetherless body shell.It was a little concerning to hear that gear noise at normal speed.Hoping the other unit was not the same.Comparing the ST dash 9s to these?That gear noise would swing me to ST i'm thinking.Then again pricing comes into it too. Thanks for the video, Deryk. Hope I have the name spelt right. Michael NZ

Looking good and sounding good, nice to see Trains running on the Layout. Bob

[edwarddavies]

Does it have any current keeper on board or is there any room to add one. Desn't look like there is room.

[scotabot]

Cool Video. Curious if you think you'll ever ballast your track eventually, or you like the "clean" look?

[SDM]
