Re: Start saving your old Athearn Trains now..... Author: mayor79 Id have to agree, you dont buy a big name (regardless of what people think of the company, Athearn is a HUGE name in the industry) to eliminate it.
micro trains, red caboose, intermountain, athern ( round house/mdc) and atlas are good companies to by rolling stock from. if you get really serious about n-scale you might want to think about converting all your rapido style couplers to micro train couplers. the micro trains couplers stay together better and look more realistic.
Model Railroading > Athearn's UP "Desert Victory". The Athearn "Ready to Roll" series has just released the UP 3593, an SD-40-2 that was painted in military-style camouflage colors to honor UP employees that were Resevists called to duty for Operation Desert Storm.

Re: 9 pin DCC decoder (athearn???) Author: fmilhaupt. Actually, I don't think that the NMRA has ever adopted the 9-pin JST plug that Athearn uses as a standard- just their own designs from earlier on.

Great job on the model but would like to see the new way of packing with the unit screwed to a board.
The new Athearn 40' parcel trailers have different colored ends. I think the color had something to do with where/how they were used. Also were the different colors used in different time periods. I model the early/mid 1990's and would like to know which paint schemes of the 40' UPS trailers would fit my era. Thanks for any help. S. Kline
Model Railroading > "THE BIG 6" Athearn/RPP Gunderson 56' Husky-Stack 2+2 Well Cars. You've all seen them out there, they criss-cross the entire US on all the major carriers. In April of 1993 Gunderson Inc., the railcar manufacturing unit of Greenbrier Cos., announced the addition of a new freight car to its North American Intermodal product line.
Athearn's New SP Mt-4. Author: asab1501. I was surprised to see that Athearn is again offering the non-skylined version of the Mt-4 with the smaller 120C tender. If I recall correctly, all of the Mt-4s came with the larger 160C tender though some later used the smaller ones. As these non-skylined models represent the locos earlier in their ...
First off, the main thing that sets the Kato unit apart from the Athearn is the chassis. However, Athearn has since addressed this issue and now includes a Kato compatible drive in its C44-9W, as well as the AC4400CW, SD40-2, and SD40T-2.
