These are some excellent and handsome looking GE AC4400CW locomotive models from the Athearn Genesis 2.0 series, these CSX models are spectacular and have well defined accurate prototype details applied to them. The detail level applied to these Genesis 2.0 models makes them decent competition against the Scaletrains Rivet Counter series models of the AC4400, both of these manufacturers' models have accurate prototypical details and both look incredible. Excellent locomotive model product review as these engines really are amazing- Tom.
Hey Those CSX locomotives look really outstanding even though I know they are HO gauge for me I m in N scale Trains I have been in N scale Trains for 45 years now And I love it I m a N scale Train Collector I have 125 N scale Locomotives and I have just over 5000 train cars and they all look great
Cool, thanks!
I can say that was the best review I have seen !!!! Very well done. The unit detail differences are amazing. Good job !!!
I really appreciate that!
Athearn out did themselves !! Wow
The body pogo is GENIUS!!!!
Outstanding video.🇺🇸
Thank you! I agree, these are nice!
These are great lookin engines. I received the UP patched 6289. The details on that were amazing. These 2.0's are very well done.
Very cool! Sounds like you like it...
Have always liked Athearn,back to the blue box era.Having Soundtraxx is a plus for me,and the volume is plenty loud.Other brands are similar quality and design anyway these days.Thanks for the review.
Thank you! Yeah, ya gotta love the Blue Box
That explains why there were so many lights on No.1 . It wasn’t Thomas at all, you ticked me. Not a GE fan myself, those almost convinced me to get one or two. Thanks for a great review, and great to see you back again. Take care and stay safe.
HAHAHA, I tried to trick you. Thanks again! I appreciate it!
Awesome video of your csx ac4400cw locomotives I have a csx #420 on hold it’s also a genesis ac4400cw, thank you for showing me ur vid!
The spare “ice skate antenna” are really first Gen PTC antenna that CSX used to comply with FRA rules.
Welcome back. I have mine on order but have not received them yet. Great review.
Hope you enjoy it!
DG Modelworks video pop's up Me "must watch" always great to see a video from you man and Athearn has really stepped up lately
Really glad you stopped by to watch!
Great review. Thank you for sharing.
I just wished I can see them in N scale trains
Those AC4400 look and sound great. Athearn has step up their game the past few years, they are keeping up with Scale Trains & Intermountain in details. This is a great time to be in the hobby. Great Review thanks for
Agreed! Thank you very much!
Thanks DG that is a great review one of your best I ever seen
I appreciate that!
Its been awhile.. Happy u are back :)
I never truly leave. :)

Very cool buddy!
@@DGModelworks indeed deryk glass
I'm tempted to get #1, I really like that locomotive
I like the history about it as well!
Great video !
Thanks!

Hey, thanks!
Hi DG I am very impressed with your CSX Athearn AC 4400 engines. Best test review i have ever seen. Athearn did good with these. Enjoy your engines. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
🛤️🛤️
Thank you very much! This review was the most detailed I have ever done. Put a lot of time in it. I really appreciate the feedback on my efforts.
Very nice looking models. Great review. 👍
Thanks 👍
It'd been great if Athearn would've installed a power booster. Those come in handy when dirty track or dead spots are a problem on someone's layout. Just an observation.
Looking good and sounding good, nice to see Trains running on the Layout. Bob
Thanks Bob!! Its nice to hear from you!
Both units are beautiful they do look apart athearn dose good on their locomotives makes a good auto rack train DG Modelworks
Thank you my friend!
@@DGModelworks welcome my friend awesome layout you have their too
Great review Derek! I just bought an Athearn genesis this week. Had to get an SD70 ACe in MRL since they were acquired. How do you like the foreign power on your tracks? I love them, especially the lighting, outstanding! Thanks!
Very nice! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for the compliment! The lighting on these AC440's is awesome!!
Nice detailed review of some detail packed models. I wish they were N.S. though.
Maybe now that NS is buying up a bunch of old ones, we could see one.
@@DGModelworks That is true.
Nice units there Deryk. It is about time Athearn caught up with the competition.LED lighting, tetherless body shell.It was a little concerning to hear that gear noise at normal speed.Hoping the other unit was not the same.Comparing the ST dash 9s to these?That gear noise would swing me to ST i'm thinking.Then again pricing comes into it too. Thanks for the video, Deryk. Hope I have the name spelt right. Michael NZ
Thanks Michael! Yeah Athearn is doing more and more with each release.
#1 was rebuilt to 7274
I thought so, but couldn't remember the number. Thanks for the info.
I have 2 live streams posted about the you tube meet and greet.. I do hope ya can make it
Very cool! I'll try!
Cool Video. Curious if you think you'll ever ballast your track eventually, or you like the "clean" look?
Thanks! Yes the track will eventually be painted and ballasted.
Does it have any current keeper on board or is there any room to add one. Desn't look like there is room.
There is no current keeper, not sure if there is room for one either.
Can’t wait for the NS 9700s series white faced dash 9s to be released! I’m contemplating putting in loksound decoders because I have 2 ScaleTrains locos and think the sound is so much better especially the start up and shut down! Do you plan on leaving those decoders in or replacing them with loksound?
Yeah those will be nice! These Tsunami's sound pretty good. I will probably keep them in. Especially since I have a pair of them and they run perfect together.
@@DGModelworks that make sense I never could get a Tsunami and Loksoujd to consist good together! So I decided to keep the Tsunami together consisted and then the loksound locos in another pair together
Yeah, I believe that is the easiest thing to do.
@@DGModelworks do you plan on doing a review of the new Athearn SD70Aces?
I have the NS Heritage Jersey Central on preorder. I will review that when it comes. Not sure if I will have one before that.
Do you think you might happen to do a review of the Intermountain Railway GP16 (recently released)?
Yes I will be, however it won't be till their 2nd release of them. I have the Everett RR on preorder.
@@DGModelworks Thanks. I have a lot of confidence in your reviews...........
Thank you so much!
Bad Boys
Do all athearns have motor noise? I have a Scaletrains that’s dead silent, my new Genesis is a noisy
I have found the Athearn Ready to Roll locomotives to be quieter than the Genesis locomotives.
Csx has rebuilt most of ac4400 & renumber it to 7200 class
Yepper! Thank you!
I think the price is Astronomical for what you're buying yes the detail is awesome but . Does therice Justify the means How many people can actually afford to pay $369 for a locomotive
As I stated in the video, almost every retailer sells them for much less than the MSRP. Shop around and you will see. Also....the model manufacturers aren't having any problem selling them, or they wouldn't still be producing them. That's just the truth.
They are and sound brutiful, thanks for this indepth review DG Modelworks! 🦡
They certainly are! Thanks for watching and commenting Bradley
