So I picked up another Athearn Genesis SD75M in BNSF Warbonnet, but also received an interesting bonus from the seller because I was honest with him about a payment issue when he sent me an invoice. Anyway, he gave me an MRC 50th Anniversary Edition C44-9W made by what looks to be Athearn? Anyway it looks like an older Athearn Blue Box. If the 50th anniversary was 1997, that makes this thing about 18 years old and it looks to be completely untouched. Can anyone tell me a little more about this?
Yea I think it was pretty cool of the guy. Especially considering I picked up the Genesis for $50. I just checked through and it looks like the certificate showing the production number is missing though, that's too bad would have been interested to know ha.
