cap and gauges on the fuel tank. The headlights along with the ditch-
lights mounted on the surface of the front pilot walkway are lit for both DC and DCC operation. All lighting can be oper- ated separately under DCC control. The model performed well with a measured drawbar pull of a little more than three ounces with a total weight hitting the scales at a considerable 20 ounces. The model’s top scale speed was measured at 70 mph using a Toth Elec- tronics Speedtrak II digital speedometer. McHenry plastic scale-head knuckle
couplers are provided, and can be eas- ily replaced by a coupler of your choice if desired. The Genesis SD60M mod-
el operates best on 22-inch radius or wider curves. Examples with factory-installed
DCC and Tsunami Sound systems car- ry a $269.98 suggested MSRP, while the standard DC version retail for $169.98. Windshield wipers and lift rings were
omitted from this recent production of Athearn Genesis SD60Ms, as well as on recently released Genesis SD60I models. Athearn will provide these missing parts
or a replacement shell to owners of this SD60M/SD60I release. You may e-mail
parts@athearn.com with your request. — H.K. WONG
