Great review, love the up close shots and details. Love the 2.0 stuff, nice to have lit number boards(why did it take so long?) and the roller bearing caps spinning is an awesome feature. Very nicely done, Happy Friday Eve! -Ken

Given how much Athearn wants for these things, it’d better have a fully functional toilet inside complete with miniature little turds swirling around. I’ll stick with my Scaletrains models. Better operating and less pricey.

What an absolute beauty. Great review.

[everettthepetractionguy]

I'm really impressed. Even though I'm a traction guy (I collect HO brass models). Not much into diesel-electric. I watched the entire video, and I enjoyed it. It was informative and fun seeing this new Athearn model in action. But, the one reservation I have about these new plastic HO scale models is how delicate they are. Particularly the railings on each side of the models. How do the railings hold up on this model? Are the railings sturdy? Do the they break off, or dislocate easily? I ask these questions because I had problems with my HO scale EMD SD40-2 diesel-electrics from ScaleTrains a few years ago.

Looks like I will have to purchase one of these from Mid West. Great review.

WELCOME BACK we missed you!! I wonder if we have them Dash9’s in DC

[mgr_video_productions]

Great locomotive and review! Talk about attention to detail.

So, in my earlier comment I neglected to say how nice this loco looks, sorry for my oversight. It’s good to see they Athearn has added the light package and see-through steps to Genesis 2.0 on this model. All Genesis 2.0 models be at this level…plus built in capacitors. Gotta poke the bear to get more improvements, I say.

[haroldalexis]

Good test excellent performance, great sound just like the real thing. ATHEARN GENESIS got this job well done.

Derek, Nice review of a nice engine. But I gotta ask. What is the tunnel portal in the background that is perpendicular to the tracks? I seems odd to me but I bet you have a great reason for it.

The NS c44-9w and the southern Norfolk, southern gp 50 are my favorite locomotives

[miquelbotello]

@DGModelworks thank you for everything you do for the rest of us model railroaders, I absolutely love your videos! You always provide in depth reviews in your videos.

If you don't mind me asking, why don't these Dash 9's come eith sode step ground lights in the front and rear. One thing I've seen on these and wanted to ask ya' bud.

Keep up the amazing work brotha'.

I have the cn version of it and it’s a great runner and highly detailed

[billiestewart]

Man I want to tell you that I just started model railroading and by watching your videos and previews on certain Venders and manufacturer on the cost too the detailing I have learned a lot thanks for the great videos.
