Great model. The low $ I paid at the LHS attributed to no sound and that it was not with full decoder, but it can be easily added.

Pros:
|
at this point I can not think of anything positive to say about this engine model line.
|
|
Cons:
|
poor quality compared to other brands, especially considering the premium price.
|
|
Based on my experience with the Genesis SD-70MAC and the SD-70ACE w/Tsunami, it is my opinion that the Genesis series is of no better quality than their 2nd tier line. Seriously, I have a cheapo Bachmann GP-40 that came with a cheapo set that runs smoother and more quietly. I am a huge Athearn fan, but these are a disappointment.
