He\u2019s very excited about the &amp;nbsp;Athearn Genesis Series a  high-end model train line produced by Athearn. It\u2019s designed for modelers who want  very accurate, highly detailed locomotives and rolling  stock compared with the company\u2019s standard Ready-to-Roll models. The Genesis line began in the  late 1990s, when Athearn wanted to compete with other high-detail brands in the hobby. Before that, Athearn was best known for the classic Athearn Blue Box kits that many model railroaders grew up building, but they\u2019ve come a long way and as you\u2019ll find Jon is excited to talk about it. Enjoy!!
