Athearn Genesis G67524 EMD F45 Diesel Locomotive, #5935 Santa Fe (HO Scale) Review HD
14My first Athearn Genesis HO scale locomotive and I have to say this beautiful model is loaded with detail and I have to say that this is the best Athearn HO scale model I own at present. The detail is incredible to say the least on this model as they is so many separate factory-applied detail parts that I have let the model speak for itself in some ways because its hard to know where to start. The model has a working bonnet light and an orange coloured strobe on the roof that lights up when the model is running forwards. The model shouts out premium quality and I got this model for a bargain price and you can too if you shop around. Now if Athearn make a FP45 or an SDP40F as a "Genesis" model in the Amtrak Phase 1 livery, I would certainly get that model as well. Athearn have given this model a much deserved premium facelift it deserves from the older "Blue Box" model and I cannot fault their efforts in anyway here as Athearn have done a great job on producing this great EMD model. So top marks all round for performance, detail, quality and value. This perfect model gets top marks from me as it is well deserved.
Overall Rating: 10/10.
