This is my second Genesis Gevo, and after saying I'd never own another one, I've ordered another 2! These are a far cry from the first Genesis I had about ten years ago, and with the motor issues sorted , and LED lights , these are great models. Like all new power on the Birdwood Sub' , this unit gets taken over the "pits" , and gets wiring mods and a full CV tune up , to make it play happily with all the other loco's on the layout!
