Hey Brother Deryk this is Allen commenting from my alternate channel I counted 30 cars.. And that New Engine from Athearn Wow thats a Sharp BNSF are ya gonna patch her up to Norfolk Southern.. I think on these Weathered Engines I think where going to see companies do more of Em' and what's neat is the Detail in the Weathering.. Thanks for showing this Engine Brother Deryk be Safe and I can't wait to see the Next Video... And Christmas 🎄 is just Around the Bend. 🚂🚂🚂🚂
I'll tell you what, Athearn definitely stepped up their game. This thing is pretty sweet, especially the lighting. Even their new RTR locos are amazing for the price.
Nice review it convinced me to place a order for 1 an my layout is BNSF so better yet. P.S. Thanks for the use of the discount code for Midwest Model Railroad it paid for my shipping.
That's awesome! I don't think you will be disappointed in this loco. Also thanks for using the coupon code, it helps you out and also supports my channel. Midwest ships out within 1 business day, but the shipping companies are a little behind right now. So hopefully you have it before Christmas. Cheers! ~Deryk
Excellent looking locomotive. Athearn has really hit this one out of the park. Primed for grime.....great idea. Just have to get rid of the cheap couplers and use scale Kadees.Thanks for sharing this with everyone, cheers!
A whole lot of cars for one locomotive !! I didn't know genesis had primed for grime I thought you could only get that in the rtr line. Very nice locomotive indeed. Great video 👍👍🎄😷🛤
Ah man I have WAY too much invested in n scale to switch. Me and my dad had a big HO scale layout back in the day. I still have a few cars and locomotives...
My first prime for grime was a SP SD39 which I'll reletter to NHL 5319. Utah Railway back in the 80s after killing the ALCo's, then getting the railfans sick of Union Pacific's ubiticus? SD40-2 (like todays ES44AC's, they were everywhere) Utah Railway began buying used power again. They bought second hand SD45s from SP, F45s from BN then the 39s from NHL. While on the Utah, in Utah, Union Pacific needed power real quick for the heavier locals and transfers since they put all of the dash 2s into road service. Besides leasing the SD39s from Utah, they also leased McClouds two SD38s with large standard fuel tanks. So about every Monday I'd drive down to UPs former WP line and at Burmester UP would set out a unit and a caboose for local switching. So you could just imagine what went through my mind when the SD39 came into view with not a SD40-2 in sight! It was the only one to work that local between June 1985 up until the end of December 2019. When it's finished, it should have NHL stenciled on the long hood and above the numberboards just "UPL", UP Leaae. Thanks for the demo! I really, really like the Amtrak fantasy locomotive. I just might have to buy one of them.
Very nice review Deryk! Lots of detail there. Is ScaleTrains has done anything, they've forced the other manufacturers to step up their games! Looks like that loco is a very strong pulling unit as well. Nice!
DC Modelworks! You have some fantastic locomotives. I can never understand why these locomotives are lighter. The heavier the locomotive, the better the pulling power. I have the latest BNSF ET44C4’s that I bought from scale trains..... previously. These locomotives are considerably much lighter than the one that I bought in 2018. That one I bought in 2018 packed a whole lot of weight with excellent pulling power. However “ I always enjoy seeing your layout videos....... thanks.
@@DGModelworks That’s what I’m thinking, I will know when I change out the scale trains couplers to the Kadee scale size 153 type short shank couplers. I can also glue any loose parts under the sill of scale trains locomotives. Parts have a tendency to come loose or come off. I also add glue under the steps of my locomotives so that they stay on permanently. I use Gorilla Super Glue Precise Gel for plastic models. I picked some of that up from Walmart. I have some new scale trains NS and BNSF dash 9’s. I was so happy that all the parts were intact.
Mine was jerky too at the low speed steps, but a half hour of running in each direction took care of it. Unfortunately, it died completely after I put a current keeper in it and now it's back at Athearn.
@@DGModelworks It's a bummer for sure, hopefully it won't take too long to get it back. I put the current keeper in something else and it worked fine so the board must've been bad.
Nice review. Athearn Genesis "Prime For Grime" looks good and I do like the extra weight underneath the cab area. If they only had rolling bearing caps....?!??🤔
@@DGModelworks yes it would in fact Scaletrains already has video on how you can create the effect yourself, but I imagine it's only a matter of time before we see factory applied burn marks on these models!
Great review DG! I think every layout should have BNSF Power. I can't wait to get more BNSF locomotives next month. Athearn has really stepped up their game on locomotives. I own alot and will continue to buy from them. What are your thoughts on BNSF?
Is there a way you can show how to do that? or is it a CV? I saw someone else do that with their local motive that is really a nice feature stay safe and have a good day
Nice loco, the color looks a little strange. I live in BNSF territory and that color is pretty inaccurate compared to prototype weathering. BNSF doesn’t fade like that.
What a beautiful sight! We all realize that this hobby is a HUGE investment. All good. Have fun!
Absolutely!

Man,I haven't seen you this excited in ever for a loco. Athearn has definitely stepped up there game and quality big time.
Great overview.

Thanks man! I think they are doing more and more Primed for Grime stuff.
That is one cool train ! Love the faded look of the loco.
Nice Demonstration Deryk. Thanx !
Hey there stranger! How are you Matthias?
35 cars!! Nice review as always.
You got it! Thanks man!
Sort of counting, 34? Nice review of a nice loco...yep, I was wondering why an NS guy was running BNSF...pool power 😊
Thank you very much! You were close...but I believe there were 35 cars. HAHA
That's a nice looking loco!
I think so too!
Those HO locomotives look and sound incredible. I'll admit it makes me a little jealous. Haha get that baby weathered!
So when are you going to switch scales? HAHAHAAH
Ah man I have WAY too much invested in n scale to switch. Me and my dad had a big HO scale layout back in the day. I still have a few cars and locomotives...
Excellent review I like the primed for grime look and have 2 SP EMD SD 39s RTRS which are great .Keep up the good work 👍😀😀😀🇬🇧🚂
Thanks! 👍 The new RTR locos are pretty amazing too!
Counting 35 cars.. sweet.. thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.. Lance
You got it! Thanks Lance!

Grab irons for days!! That's a nice looking engine!! Great buy for sure.
You got that right!
When I first saw it I was thinking that’s a new loco and the paint looks faded. Great review, thanks.
Thanks buddy!
That is ABSOLUTELY BADASS 💯 👍🔥,gunna get some
I thought it was pretty badass too!
Very nice review Deryk! Lots of detail there. Is ScaleTrains has done anything, they've forced the other manufacturers to step up their games! Looks like that loco is a very strong pulling unit as well. Nice!
Thanks Brian! Yeah everyone is upping their game. But it's also a little scary because all the extra details, just adds to the cost.
A lot......Nice to see a whole Train running. Sounds and looks good to. Bob
Doesn't happen very often does it? HAHAHA
But when it happens....it's nice. ;)

I cannot figure out how they are lighter. It's the same frame. Doesn't make any sense at all. Unless they started using a different alloy of metal?

Yeah it needed a little run time. Man that sucks to hear about the current keeper situation. Hopefully it gets resolved.
@@DGModelworks It's a bummer for sure, hopefully it won't take too long to get it back. I put the current keeper in something else and it worked fine so the board must've been bad.
Athearn needs to do some prime for grime NS units. Especially when they come out with NS D9's wide cabs.
I agree 100%! That would be awesome!
Nice trains like it keep it up
Lighting is good; IMO the best lighting I've seen from the factory is the latest release of SXT Tier 4 GEVOs that came out last summer
Nice locomotive, you need to get radio cab.
great video there i love thosed gevoengines merry christmast and happy new year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also!
Good review!!!
Thanks!
Great review.
Thanks!
Great review!
Thanks!
I like it
I like your videos I'm glad to see your back how do you like Catherine Genesis are they good compared to scale trains Atlas Cato
thanks! I like them
Nice review. Athearn Genesis "Prime For Grime" looks good and I do like the extra weight underneath the cab area. If they only had rolling bearing caps....?!??🤔
Rolling bearing caps are a nice touch I agree, but how often are you actually down at track level and close enough to see them?
True but unless you have your track level close to 5ft, I have to agree with you on that. Point well made.👍
I think im going to add some scale sound system speakwrs to my locos
I've been meaning to try some of their speakers actually.
@@DGModelworks there very difficult to put in scsle trains locos but easy to install in others
Awesome locomotive! Just wonder how long it will be before Athearn or Scaletrains starts doing the "toasters"?
Now THAT would be awesome!
@@DGModelworks yes it would in fact Scaletrains already has video on how you can create the effect yourself, but I imagine it's only a matter of time before we see factory applied burn marks on these models!
@@randallellison6421 Yes, I believe that video was done by Josh (nsmodeler24)
Great review DG! I think every layout should have BNSF Power. I can't wait to get more BNSF locomotives next month. Athearn has really stepped up their game on locomotives. I own alot and will continue to buy from them. What are your thoughts on BNSF?
Hey, foreign power on the layout is a good thing. :) I agree, Athearn has definitely stepped things up. I'm liking the new stuff a lot. I like BNSF
@@DGModelworks Yes it is! I can't wait to add a new roadname to my layout next year!
Good one. 35 freight cars.
You got it! Thanks!
I just got a new union pacific but. I'm a starter so I didn't know about the dcc speakers so bummer
Is there a way you can show how to do that? or is it a CV? I saw someone else do that with their local motive that is really a nice feature stay safe and have a good day
Here Soundtraxx shows you how to do it in this video. Hope this helps. ruclips.net/video/34iGTmuFAyc/видео.html

I need it.

Nice loco, the color looks a little strange. I live in BNSF territory and that color is pretty inaccurate compared to prototype weathering. BNSF doesn’t fade like that.
It is a little over faded. no doubt about it.
You have nice trains does anyone agree?
I need deals on trains
I counted 35 cars
Yep :)
