    I would like to buy some of the new Genesis F-units w/ DCC & Sound. Our local train club runs only Broadway Ltd stuff and no one has experience with Athearn yet.

    Can anyone offer an opinion on the Athearn Genesis units w/ sound?
    Thanks

    I saw a Genisis at my hobby shop for 51.00. I don't remember if it was Athearn. Does anyone have a picture?

    It's probably the same type of decoder used in the BLI engines, as I see them popping up in a lot of manufacturer's products. With all the programmable CV's available, you won't have a problem running them. That's the beauty of DCC. You don't have to use one manu's products. Mix-n-match is the name of the game.

    Atlas and BLI use sound decoders by QSI; Athearn Genesis units use decoders made by MRC.
