Great review, I ordered a few of these and I am very satisfied with them. Athearn actually tweaks the Tsunami 2 sound files to sound better. You can change a CV value to not have the models startup on when track power is applied. There are also sanding lines inside the box to be installed.
Great video! I acquired all 3 BNSF road numbers and I am very happy! I personally appreciate that Athearn assigned the boards and ground lights to functions b/c with ScaleTrains they are on upon startup by default. Also, if you set CV114 to 71 that disables the auto-start feature and you can use F26 to start up and F27 to shut down. There are still details that could be improved to match ScaleTrains quality but overall best SD70ACe in HO scale by far!
Pretty good review. About the only thing I don't like on this release is the number board brightness and the light bleed thru from the separate cab roof.
Nice looking locomotives! I've debated on getting one but will probably hold out for now and wait and see if I can catch some of the overflow stock on sale down the road.
great review.... the problem i have with athearn is pulling power.... scale trains is just a better product all around .... genesis just isn't that good but are ok sent one back to lombard hobbies ( just a great family business) which could not pull well at all... but thats just me... keep up the good work and blessings to everyone !!!
No grab handles on the plow. Shitty ass Athearn handrails. Pointless removable cab roof that never sits 100 percent true. No MU jumper cable. And this is 2.0?
Hi Matt nice video. Hey do you think you could do a video going into more detail about your 611 with ESU sound? Also just wondering if you saw my FaceBook message? Great video and glad to see you back. Jeff aka NW611J.

Great video and review! I have the 1943 spirit of the union Pacific EMD SD70ACE. It's a great unit!
Those two heritage units are my favorites but my most favorite is the Katy I'm really excited to buy both
The 1982 is supposed to have a mechanical bell like the model shows. I was actually wondering if Athearn would get that right. Great review!
I’m looking to get the essential workers version. I work at a grocery store so it would be a good match.
Function 24 turns on the ground lights and Function 25 turns on the numberboard lights.
Bell is correct, the early UP Aces and Gevos had steel bells
Pretty good review. About the only thing I don't like on this release is the number board brightness and the light bleed thru from the separate cab roof.
i thnk with a touch of black paint here and there you can fix alot of that
Awesome video 👍

There ain’t gonna be any overstock.
@@MrHunt916 yeah, I figured that would be a long shot at best, so the likely sanerio will be waiting for run 2 of these locomotives!
I think the reason for the plastic couplers is because they own the co. that makes them.
What kind of track are you using here and what would I need in terms of equipment to get started with DCC?
How did you get kato unitrack to be dcc cuz I have nce

Add more locomotives to your train
i like the katy
Where is the discount code from DG Modelworks? I'm interested in the MKT, MP, SP, or DRGW models from Athearn Genesis.
Just updated the description on the video
The camera in the windshield is not a new detail. All of my N.S. heritage units have the same camera.
nope not new but a nice touch
What road number of the Bli E6 are you getting? #460??
yup
They really need to get a new K5LLA audio file for tsunami it sounds like an earrape meme video
LOL
Also pronounce it "Mo-Pack" not "Mo-Pahhk"
Clearly nobody got the Ken Kaniff reference......
