This Athearn Genesis HO scale model train belongs to the renowned Genesis product line. The box shows only a little shelf wear and comes with all the necessary paperwork. It depicts Rock Island EMD GP7s in the paint scheme from the early to mid - 70s, a style that lasted until the Rock Island's closure in 1980. You'll notice a light weathering effect on the spark arrestors and grilles, just as seen in the photos. It's a great choice for modelers interested in mid - 70s Rock Island trains. **Details** - **Brand**: Athearn Genesis - **Part Number**: ATHG2777 - **Condition**: C - 7 Excellent - **Wheel Wear**: Minimal - **Noise**: Moderate motor/gearbox noise (2 out of 10) - **Operation**: Runs smoothly - **Motor**: Can Motor - **Control**: DCC and Sound - SoundTraxx Tsunami2, programmed to work on DC - Analog too - **Lighting**: Front and rear headlights - **Decorated**: Factory - decorated in Rock Island Red/Yellow 70s scheme, numbered 1258 - **Backhead/Interior Detail**: Basic cab detail available - **Couplers/Trucks**: Plastic knuckle spring couplers - **Packaging**: Comes in the original box with a plastic insert **Shipping** - Free domestic USA shipping for purchases over $199!

Using your Athearn Genesis HO scale model train is easy. First, make sure you have the right power source. Since it's programmed to run on both DCC and DC - Analog, you can choose the option that suits your setup. Just connect it to the track and turn on the power. The front and rear headlights will light up, adding a nice touch to your model railroad. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the wheel wear. Although it has minimal wear right now, regular inspection can help you catch any issues early. If you notice the motor/gearbox noise getting louder, it might be a sign that it needs a little cleaning. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the exterior of the locomotive, including the spark arrestors and grilles. For storage, keep it in the original box with the plastic insert. This will protect it from dust and damage. And remember, if you're shipping it back for any reason, make sure to pack it well to avoid any breakage. Enjoy your model train!
