Got this email from the Athearn website , and although I'm not a big steam fanatic, I thought those of you who are would be interested: 4-6-6-4 Challengers We have GREAT news on a couple of issues relating to the 4-6-6-4 Challenger. First, they are due here early next week, and should be in stores before the end of October. Second, we are REDUCING the retail price of these great behemoths! We have received information that another maker of Challengers is again leaving the HO marketplace, and will be liquidating their remaining Challengers. We want to make certain that our faithful dealers and consumers don't get fooled by a large price differential. We want you to select your Challenger on the basis of quality and service backed by a company that’s committed to HO-scale products and has been for over 60 years. The Athearn Genesis Challenger is a superior unit, featuring - Superior detail - Superior painting and lettering - Superior tractive effort - Superior multi-feature sound - Superior quality - Superior value The MSRP has been reduced to $359.98 This is an INCREDIBLE price, and is an excellent opportunity for you to get one of these popular locomotives. Quantities for the first production run are limited, so if you want one of these remarkable locomotives please contact your hobby dealer immediately! The Folks at Athearn
