New Ho Additions-2/19/13

Hi everyone, so as of now, I have decided to add on updates on my Ho scale trains as well the On30 stuff.  This past few weeks has been pretty busy, but I have managed to aquire some new equipment. First off is an Athearn 50' ATSF "Santa Fe All The Way" Boxcar.  Second is perhaps the most exciting addition, which is an Athearn Genesis Southern Pacific GP9R, #3851. I recently installed a "temporary" DCC decoder in there until a new ESU Loksound 4.0 can be fitted in.  Overall the engine is fairly nice, but it is a pain to install DCC decoders since there is very little clearance on the inside.  Also, the handrails are on the fragile side but other than that it is a very nice solid model, an 8.5 out of 10 in my books. There hasn't been anything new on 2307 or 7395 yet, which I have yet to do more work on.
