Yes, they most certainly do. Most of today's major HO manufacturers have gone and done their homework with the new generation of drivetrains. If you haven't seen the EL or Erie F-units, you don't know what you've been missing! Also, Athearn's 1970s-era freight cars in the Genesis line are beyond reproach. They are magnificent! I have about 25 of these cars (they're like candy, you can't stop getting 'em) - the paint and detail are amazing! > What has been the ELHS's collective experiences with any > Athearn R-T-R products? ELHS's? Or do you mean the people on this list? Personally speaking, I think the latest iteration of Athearn's R-T-R products are great! The Genesis models are absolutely superb, and even the "regular line" units have upgraded drivetrains. The GP35s they're doing have these upgraded drives. - Paul ------------------------------
