Hi everybody, I recently purchased one of the new old time 2-8-0's based on the old MDC castings but much improved. I'll be happy to provide my experience on that to anyone interested. Surfing Horrizon's Roundhouse site today I found a listing for an old time 4-6-2 (whatever that means) that looks suspiously (sp) like a USRA pacific from the color representation they show. the delivery date advertised is Oct 08. the really odd thing in the description is this statement. "" based on a classic "Genesis" (emphasis (sp) mine) model with modern upgrades, upgraded drive mechanism. Since Horrizon owns both Athearn & Roundhouse, could it be that the Athearn Genesis 4-6-2 is being rereleased with upgrades? I have no idea but there it is. Paul
