NEW! Athearn Genesis 2.0 - AC4400CW! Detailed Review with Comparison. Tsunami 2 DCC & Sound! 

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

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.

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!

Great review. Thank you for sharing.

I can say that was the best review I have seen !!!! Very well done. The unit detail differences are amazing. Good job !!!

Welcome back. I have mine on order but have not received them yet. Great review.

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.

Athearn out did themselves !! Wow The body pogo is GENIUS!!!! Outstanding video.🇺🇸

Its been awhile.. Happy u are back :)

Thanks DG that is a great review one of your best I ever seen

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

Love this video thanks for sharing 🎉

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.

I just wished I can see them in N scale trains

Those beautiful units derk I am getting some in bnsf and kcs I been focusing on my layout lately I am going to a train show in Montana I also been driving miss u buddy

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.

I'm tempted to get #1, I really like that locomotive

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

Great video !

Very nice looking models. Great review. 👍

hello Derek & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Derek & Friends Randy & Super Cool Athearn Geneeis AC440 Detailed Review With Comparison . Factory Tsunami 2 DCC & Sound & Thanks Derek & Good Friends Randy

Looking good and sounding good, nice to see Trains running on the Layout. Bob

Both units are beautiful they do look apart athearn dose good on their locomotives makes a good auto rack train DG Modelworks

The spare “ice skate antenna” are really first Gen PTC antenna that CSX used to comply with FRA rules.

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍 🛤️🛤️

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!

Nice detailed review of some detail packed models. I wish they were N.S. though.

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

#1 was rebuilt to 7274

Cool Video. Curious if you think you'll ever ballast your track eventually, or you like the "clean" look?

I have 2 live streams posted about the you tube meet and greet.. I do hope ya can make it

Does it have any current keeper on board or is there any room to add one. Desn't look like there is room.

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?

Do you think you might happen to do a review of the Intermountain Railway GP16 (recently released)?

Bad Boys

Do all athearns have motor noise? I have a Scaletrains that’s dead silent, my new Genesis is a noisy

Csx has rebuilt most of ac4400 & renumber it to 7200 class

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

They are and sound brutiful, thanks for this indepth review DG Modelworks! 🦡
