Did old blue box athearn engines come with window glass. Is there a way that i can go back and add window glass to the cabs of my atheran blue box locos. All window inserts are pre masked for easy painting and easily press fit into place gasketed windows window blanks cupola windows battery box louvered end doors axle generator. I just have four sp ac4400s all ballasted to the max.
25 cars with loads to prevent string lining and a 23 grade. Milwaukee wi fox point 10151 posts posted by dknelson on sunday february 10 2013 830 pm the walthers. These engines always run flawlessly.
I love the old athearn bb engines. I run all four lashed up to pull my 110 car coal train. As for the rtr engines they usually have the old athearn drive chassis with a revamped shell which has nicer handrails and glass.
I dont know if anything is commercially available. Athearn blue box loco question. Does anyone know if the new genesis ge engines are heavier than the old blue box units.
Athearn has put nice paint jobs on the old shell on their rtr and newer roundhouse f7s but the shell is basically the same one shown above. 227 athearn atsf caboose detail kit includes 37 laser cut acrylic pieces for a variety of modifications to athearn atsf style cabooses. For the most part the rtr stuff is based on the old athearn blue box kits this includes the engines.
Ran well but pulling power was not great. Thats all i know and since i model the post caboose era i only have four. The gray sp athearn f7a rob posted a photo of is the last athearn blue box f7 i had possession of.
You have to buy them separately. They are highly authentic looking and most come with separately applied detail parts and razor sharp painting and printing. Surprised to see this in a magazine in 2013 2014.
Or maybe make something myself. It has the old style round motor and steel flywheels it is a spd 40 co. Most come with separately applied details and razor sharp painting.
Athearn blue box cabooses dont come with windows. Athearn precision die cast models are licensed replicas. This line shares the attention to detail hobbyists expect from athearn just on a bigger scale.
Tyco cabooses have windows installed. As for the genesis line well the engines are completely different from what the offered in the past and better. Welcome to the real world.
Most come with separately applied details and razor sharp painting. I have an athearn blue box sd9 sp 4326 on my layout thats used regularly as a yard switcher thats been nicely detailed and weathered seemed a shame to just ditch it when it runs decent and looks okay. As most have said its your call.
I hooked it up to a 39 car train that has to go. How much should an engine weight. Posted by cudaken on tuesday august 29 2006 400 am have been playing with the old athearn blue boxes some more and pulled out a e bay win that had not been up to snuff.
