I cant believe with how good Athearn's stuff looks above the frame, how BAD it looks below the frame!

Word on the street is that their upcoming releases will feature more frame detail.

i have already started to tear down my first N scale attempt and now i'm thinking that i'll just be done with N scale for now and switch back to HO with Sargent couplers.  where's the waffles?
