1. Detailed Model: The GP35R is a highly detailed model, accurately representing the real-world GP35 locomotive used by Amtrak and Metro-North. This includes features such as realistic paint schemes, working headlights, and detailed cab interior.

2. Operational Features: The locomotive comes with operational features such as working diesel sound, directional lighting, and DCC/DC capable operation. This allows for a more immersive experience when operating the model on a model railroad layout.

3. Easy to Assemble: The RTR version of the GP35R is already assembled, making it easy for beginners to get started with model railroading. No need for soldering or extensive assembly work.

4. Variety of Options: Athearn offers a range of GP35R models, including different paint schemes and road numbers, allowing collectors to choose the one that best fits their collection or preference.

1. Price: The GP35R can be quite expensive, especially for beginners or those on a budget. The price can be a deterrent for some potential buyers.

2. Size: The GP35R is a larger locomotive, which may not fit all model railroad layouts. It may require a larger layout or a specific area of the layout to be dedicated to it.

3. Power: While the GP35R has operational features, some collectors may find that the locomotive is not powerful enough for their needs, especially on larger or more complex layouts.

The GP35R Athearn RTR (Ready-to-Run) Front Metro-North is a high-quality model with many features that can provide an enjoyable and immersive experience for model railroaders. However, the high price and size may deter some potential buyers. For those who can afford it and have the space for it, the GP35R can be a great addition to their collection. For beginners or those on a budget, there may be other, less expensive options available that would be a better fit. Ultimately, the decision to buy the GP35R should be based on the individual's budget, space, and interest in model railroading.

Details:

We did a pair of McHenry couplets. We had all new parts to put this unit together. This unit was very time consuming.

We did a shell swap from an Athearn gp35 rtr to a rail power products gp35 non dynamic shell. We removed the fan and plugged it off and modified non dynamic hatch to be more prototype. This is a rail power products shell with a Athearn gp35 rtr frame that is CDC ready.
