Very impressive and incredible ac4400cw models from Athearn Genesis, CSX owns a large fleet of these ac4400 engines and these new Athearn models are impressive. These locomotives are decent competition for the Scaletrains Rivet Counter series models of the ac4400 and Athearn has really improved their locomotive detail features over the past 5 years from my judgement- Tom.
Really nice review and comparison to the real thing. I bought the Scale Trains AC4400CW because they made the one road number that's in the CSX YN3 paint scheme. I started off buying Scale Trains so I got spoiled by the realistic momentum setting they have. For the Athearn Genesis locomotives I change the momentum settings in the Tsunami 2 so it has a nice realistic start motion speed like the Scale Trains. Since I'm also into O Gauge and like crew talk I noticed that crew talk dialog settings are set way down on volume so you never hear it. I set the volume almost to max on the crew talk dialog. So those are the two changes that I make in the CV settings for Tsunami 2. Unfortunately Loksounds does not have crew talk dialog.
I hope the manufacturers continue to make Locomotives and freightcars we see everyday. Scale Trains just announced the NS C44C6M's. Now that's GREAT! Now if somebody will make the Greenville Steel Car BulkHead flat cars used by Southern and are still in service today. The 50 foot 116100 number series has the extended couplers and the 60 foot 114200 number cars have the skrits on the trucks.
Hi Engineer Hall & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Engineer Hall & Friends Randy & Athearn Genesis CSX AC4400CW Super Cool Engineer Hall & Good Friends Randy
IT WOULD BE NICE FOR ATHEARN TO MAKE THESE LOCOMOTIVES AFFORDABLE FOR ALL MODELERS TO BE ABLE TO BUY THEM! ITS A REAL SHAME THAT THEY ARE COMPETING WITH Other MANUFACTURERS, AND ARE TOTALLY DISREGARDING THE MODELERS BY RAISING THE PRICES! MOST MODELERS ARE NOT GOING TO BUY THE HIGH PRICED INITS, THEY ARE GOING AFTER THE MUCH LOWER PRICE MODELS INSTEAD. IF ATHEARN WOULD Lower THE PRICES ON THEIR MODELS , THEY WOULD SALE A LOT OF THEM!
