"Primed for Grime" #Ready2Rust- what does that mean?

Simply put, we at Athearn have given you a head start at weathering locomotives and freight cars.

We’ve taken the time to research locomotives and other rolling stock from actual photographs.

We’ve faded the body and lettering colors, added patches, applied new reporting marks and the like.

"Primed for Grime" models will be available in our Genesis, Ready to Roll and Athearn–Roundhouse lines.

Whenever you see our new "Primed for Grime" logo you’ll know that you are getting a little help from us here at Athearn.
