Athearn Announces Genesis 2.0

Genesis 2.0 is the latest brand to join the Athearn Trains family. The first model in this new line is the HO scale Electro-Motive Division (EMD) SD90MAC-H. The model is based on the Phase II version of the 6,000 hp, six-axle road locomotive.

The Genesis 2.0 model, scheduled for release in March 2020, will feature all-new tooling, with what the firm calls “better than brass detail.” Other features on the SD90MAC-H include etched-metal see-through steps, illuminated number boxes, and ground effect lighting.


Athearn will offer the SD90MAC-H decorated for Canadian Pacific, EMD demonstrator, Fortescue Metals Group, and Union Pacific. Direct-current models will retail for $249.98. Versions with a dual-mode SoundTraxx Tsunami2 sound decoder with EMD 265H diesel engine sounds will be priced at $339.98.
