Hello everyone, I would to tell/warn you all about the Latest release of P42's from Athearn.
These locomotives may seem beautiful in appearence but do not be fooled. I got 2 new athearn p42's for x-mas (the latest run of p42's) And within 2 seconds of being on the test track, they died.... Note: I did not run them at the same time, I tried to run them each seperate. I'm very dissapointed with Athearn because I've always had good luck with their products. I know for a fact that my tracks are not the problem, my other locomotives ran fine. Word to the wise, unless you know how to tinker with engine motors, spend the extra money on Kato's P42's they just run perfectly
Anyone else have this problem with Athearn locomotives?
