I just got the WalthersMainline ho SD-70ACe CSX lightning bolt version, and it looks great for $97. 😁
Do you have a link for one
DMONEY 42000 Here is the link but there out of stock right now and they were out of stock when I first viewed them, so I left my email to be notified and in about a week they got three back in stock then I ordered one.

mrk107 alright thank you
$97 bucks? That’s a pretty good deal!
Even though Walthers is a budget brand that’s still not too bad for a new DC model.
I’ve been contemplating the CSX variant of this for a while! Now that I’ve seen a video on it, I placed my order first thing! Thanks for your reviews!
Personally I am a steam fan along with early diesels, but if someone likes modern equipment they look like very good models.
Thanks for thw vid James. These are nice however I'm spoilt and have come to expect certain features on my locomotives. Hopefully the T3 GEVOs will show up in the Genesis 2.0 line.
Wow those are very nice locomotives James, I see you got NS 7539 which I have the Intermountain version, but it does not have the first generation K5HL horn in it’s sound. I am selling it as I am modeling my local railroad. It’s cool to see they put the first generation horn on both which is correct for the real ones. I didn’t see the NS units bell but I am sure it’s an E-bell, although the CSX has a mechanical bell.
Keep it up 👍🏻
Great video as always james!
Since ScaleTrains has theirs coming out Athearn will probably do the different versions also. Plus a AC4400 since they have molds.
wow! beautiful locomotives... thanks for sharing
Awesome review, keep up the good work, I've been thinking of getting back into model railroading thanks to you!
Great looking model and great video man!
Nice review, James. I got the MTH HO Berkshire coming in the mail tomorrow. Hope you do a review on it. Also hope the move went well!
I have been very pleased with the Genesis models. Its a huge toss up these days with Scaletrains being a top contender. I still consider Athearn Genesis in the top 3 best units.
Probably need to get a few of these.
James, can you please do a matchup between Athearn P42 Genesis locomotive and the Kato P42 Genesis locomotive with pulling power...
genesis probably has more pulling power, stiall has greater detail. no brainer on which one to get, your only pulling passanger cars, lol
HELLO JAMIE ITS IS RANDY AND I A DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND IS NORFOLK SOUTHERN IS THE LOCOMOTIVES ON THE ROSTER 7093 GP-38-2,,, GP-40-2,,,,,,, AND GP-50 THANKS JAMIES
hola buen dia muchas gracias por subir el video abrazo grande
I think athern is prob the best with their CSX models.
I got the same engine for Christmas only mine is a bachman and is ns 8114 the heritage unit, the only difference in detail from the atheren from what I can tell is my rear ditch lights dont flash
Excellent!
Looks like a nice version of the Bachmann
bachmann es44 are no comparison
nice video
Does anyone know if you can run Athearn locomotives together with ScaleTrains locomotive using DCC?
You can run any DCC locos together no matter what manufacturer, you just got to put them in a consist and speed match, I do that with my ScaleTrains Tier 4 ET44AC, and my Genesis SD70ACe, also with my atlas C40-8W, all locos are capable just can’t with dc/dcc locos together
PokeyRailFanning thanks for the information, this helps me a lot. I’m just updating to DCC and have only been purchasing DCC locomotives from both ScaleTrains and Athearn.
Automax2323 No problem! Also when you get a dcc controller I suggest getting the NCE Powercab, they are the best out there for their price.
PokeyRailFanning thank you, I’ll look into that. I have so many BLMA/Atlas modern block signals, I’ll need something that’s strong enough to power/handle a larger than club size layout. Also, I have some of the latest Walthers locomotives as well, hopefully those won’t be an issue running with the Athearn and ScaleTrains .
Does anyone have a preference between Athern’s version and Intermountain?
Is this the same engine scaletrains just announced?
Top👍
Are you planning on getting the new DD40AX from Athearn with the genesis 2.0?
Ik your a big UP guy.
yes
I look forward to the review. I enjoy your reviews.
Do they come with ground lights or step lights?
i dont think so, they have all of that on genesis 2
I can’t click the link
all of them were derated and became ES40DC's
@@NortheasternP.T.S. wrong, they were ES44DC's originally for CSX and then became ES40DC's, hence them being derated.
It could represent them before they were derated.
No difference from the other ES44 except for soundtracks 2 stil no lighted number boards or truck lights nothing new
only on genesis 2 so far
btw its soundtrax tsunami 2, soundtrax is the company, lots of different sound options with 2 in it
