This is the first of the new Genesis GP Series. We will have details of pricing and availability as soon as Athearn provides us that information. Athearn expects delivery of the first release in late 2012

These models feature many scheme specific details and will be very prototypically accurate. The Athearn Genesis EMD GP Serires use completely new tooling and engineering far beyond the existing Athearn RTR GP Series in every way.

The below Video is by our friends at Model Railroad Hobbyist from the announcement at Amherst this morning:

New information in this video of interest to our customers is that the second run will feature Boston & Maine, Canadian Pacific & Union Pacific locomotives, no ETA given.

They also have a great page with discussion and plenty of pictures of the model that can be found here
