GP 15

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Are there any differances/complaints between the Athearn GP-15's and the Proto 200 GP-15's? Reason I ask i just got a Proto GP-15 but have not gotten a chance to really run it yet. the price was right on it , thats the main reason i got it over the Athearn.

I have all three plastic GP15 varieties, Smokey Valley, Athearn Genesis, and Proto 1000.

Basically, the Athearns are superior in performance, details, and features. However, the P1ks aren't bad, and as you have said, the Price is Right, and it will work. the Smoke Valley units are probably the m0st work and least accurate (though very easy to detail to the point of surpassing the Athearn). For a time, these were the only GP15s out there.

I personally would prefer the Athearn's, but P1Ks are great.
