My problematic GP39-2 is now back on the tracks. Not without considerable hair pulling and expenditure of discretionary spending. Ditched the Athearn Genesis motherboard and the 21-pin decoder for a DH126D Digitrax decoder and did a full motor replacement. Put her back together and finished with an application of burnt umber, black and gray PanPastels on the lower portions and put her at the head end of my D&H consist. She now pulls her own weight and then some.
