Collection: Athearn (RTR)

Athearn Ready-to-Roll (RTR) is a product line under Athearn Trains, offering affordable, highly detailed, and durable HO scale locomotives and rolling stock. The RTR series provides model railroaders with a balance between detail and performance, making it ideal for those who want realistic models without the higher cost of Athearn’s premium Genesis line. Many RTR locomotives come DCC-ready or factory-equipped with DCC and sound, while the rolling stock features crisp printing, separately applied details, and metal wheels. Athearn RTR is popular among hobbyists looking for high-quality, easy-to-use models that fit well in both beginner and advanced layouts.
