I love Athearn's new N-Scale Rolling stock!
Please specify are the locos DC DCC Equipted or DCC ready?
I like that SD45 loco.
I agree with Geoffrey, especially regarding the era.
Thanks.
It would be nice for those of us who don't live in North America and newcomers to get more info on new Loco's and Frieght cars. Like who owned them, thier era, and where in the Country they came from, and for what they were used.
Thanks Guys.
