Genesis F-Series Locomotives are considered by many in the hobby to be the finest F units
ever produced, in any scale. They utilize the renowned “Highliners” body whose
contours, dimensions, and details are precisely accurate, down to the last rivet. Its
unique modular body design allows for the exact duplication of models and phases,
from the F-2 through the F-9. Athearn has capitalized on this versatility and each locomotive is extensively researched to ensure accuracy of body configuration, optional
equipment, road numbers, paint schemes, and lettering styles. Custom details are
often required, and are painstakingly recreated to achieve a level of authenticity
previously unknown in the hobby. The result is a highly sophisticated museum
quality model. With careful handling and periodic service, your Genesis F
units will provide years of enjoyment and reliable service. Be advised, however, that only skilled modelers should attempt to repair or perform the maintenance procedures outlined herein
