Review ATHEARN Ho scale Rtr Rio Grande Rgw Rare

The Athearn Genesis GP40-2 in HO scale, specifically the Rio Grande RGW 3116 (Catalog Number: 79844), is an exquisite model train that will captivate any rail enthusiast. This ready-to-run (RTR) locomotive is meticulously crafted to replicate the iconic GP40-2 diesel-electric locomotive, which was a mainstay of American railroads from the 1960s to the 1980s.

The Rio Grande RGW 3116 is a stunning representation of the GP40-2 as it was operated by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railway (RGW). The model features the distinctive RGW paint scheme, with its bold red, white, and blue livery, as well as the distinctive "Rio Grande" script and herald on the locomotive's sides.

The Athearn Genesis GP40-2 is built around a powerful, five-pole, skewed armature motor, providing ample torque for smooth and quiet operation. The model boasts a realistic digital command control (DCC) decoder, allowing for precise speed control, multiple function operation, and future expansion options.

The GP40-2's detailed underbody is equipped with a powerful, scale-size, five-pole skewed armature motor, die-cast frame, and all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable performance and efficient power transmission. The model also features directional lighting, including operating headlights and marker lights, as well as realistic exhaust effects.

The exterior of the GP40-2 is equally impressive, with accurately shaped and painted body, separately applied metal detail parts, and finely-detailed cab interior. The model features photo-etched windshield wipers, mirror and grills, and intricate handrails, ladder, and coupler cut levers. The model also includes realistic wheel detail, with separately applied tread and body mount, and authentic operating couplers.
