Details:

You can find the new Athearn genesis in a different box and spend whole lot more money for sound. No missing parts or breakage. I leave feed back on all of my listings just as soon receive. On display since new.

No out of country shipping. Yes this is a ready to roll not Athearn genesis. USPS economy mail shipping cost for USA domestic only. The crews that ran them hated.

Southern pacific u50 overland brass put out one of the best looking and running model's ever made. Sp owned three of these giants. Then came Rtr Athearn the best ever made in plastic. And the only difference is Athearn ready to roll.

Locomotive comes in factory perfect box. I installed knees when bought new.
