It's always a treat when manufacturers take the time to give closer looks into their upcoming products, and Athearn has some new trains in their lineup that they just couldn't wait to show off.
Athearn just received four gorgeous new samples of their Genesis Norfolk Southern Heritage SD70ACe locomotives, and they've spent some time to walk us all through the new features on these beauties. Take a minute to watch this new video from the manufacturer and be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor after seeing these great products.

These new versions of the classic Athearn SD70ACe keep a lot of the wonderful features of past products and combine them with some superb improvements across the entire length of the locomotive. I almost can't believe how much incredible detail is being worked into Athearn's lines these days, but this video proves it. If you're in the market for an SD70ACe, it just doesn't get any better than this. As long as the final releases end up half as good as the product samples in the above video, we're all in for a treat.
Keep an eye out on Athearn.com for more details on these locomotives, and be sure to stop by the DASH Marketplace in the future to grab a set of these locomotives or other Atearn products.
