Those models are amazing - I just purchased one in the grey color scheme which I believe represents the Air Force- super excite to have it. Nice review as always.
It would take a bit of work. You would need to carefully remove the number boards and use a small amount of RTV sealant to reduce the leakage. I’m honestly most likely not going to even bother because I would most likely destroy them in the process. You could maybe try carefully painting on some thick black paint around the number boards through the inside around the edges. I haven’t really looked at the inside of the number board housing to see how to fix them. I have fixed other number boards using the methods mentioned above.
Look great. But if Athearn have no keep alive, technology?can't take them seriously... Early this year I purchased 2 of their 50 year Amtrak...nice details and sound...but no keep alive...
I can see how these models missing key components like that can be unattractive. I do like that ScaleTrains and other manufacturers have that feature. Thank you for watching!
Wow! So many Details....absolutely stunning👍👍
I totally agree! Great looking engine!
Great review man! These engines look insanely good and like you said the level detail seems to be heightened with these
Thank you very much! Yeah I was quite surprised with these!

Nice review of these diesels…those CP versions look fantastic…
Thank you! Yeah I love the look of these!
I’m getting all 5 when they release next year. Looking forward to them.
Nice man! I saw the set that Athearn is advertising! I want the desert sand unit next.
I’m usually UP only but those grey CP schemes are sick af
I’m mostly UP too, but yeah dude the military schemes look so good. The sand colored one looks amazing!
Where I’m from I see a lot of lash ups where UP and CP locomotives run with each other. I model UP as well but CP is never out of the question for me
@@modelrailroadingthesouthwest they look hard
@@antoniusk8893 not against them, I just don’t see them in Vegas, it’s all UP here, sometimes BNSF but it’s UP’s rails. LOVE FOR ALL ROADS ❤️
Since CP rail purchased kcs I've been seeing these engines
That’s cool! I’ve yet to see one first hand.
I also caught the orange gevo engine the hapag-loyd unit
Do the ditch lights flash?
I don’t know how Canadian Pacific has their ditch light settings, but on these particular models they do not flash. Thank you for watching!
Good video 📸 but I like Athearn to take the details to the next level by applying spinning exhaust fan blades, truck/ground lights and step lights....
Thank you for watching! I agree. The models can benefit from a few upgrades.
How do you fix the light leakage on the number boards?
It would take a bit of work. You would need to carefully remove the number boards and use a small amount of RTV sealant to reduce the leakage. I’m honestly most likely not going to even bother because I would most likely destroy them in the process. You could maybe try carefully painting on some thick black paint around the number boards through the inside around the edges. I haven’t really looked at the inside of the number board housing to see how to fix them. I have fixed other number boards using the methods mentioned above.

Yeah Genesis is Top of the Line. These surely conveyed the branding.
