When did Athearn ever advertise on TV? Given that ad, it's a good thing it had limited exposure. Yikes. The Tyco Depot Edited by - NickelPlate759 on September 01 2008 05:15:31 AM

This was part of a promo' video for Railroad Tycoon II.
Athearn got the royalties from PopTop because most of the available graphic trains were based upon Athearn models. Naturally, no steam engines. Also, not in the earlier vintage cars, either.
The video comes with the CD ROM from PopTop.
I'd sell my RRT II if someone is interested. It is a computer game... it also allows you to play it with others over the internet.
John I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
